PLS PLS PLS SOMEONE HELP ME LOL

Use your own words and complete sentences to apply Newton’s third law of motion to the action of hitting a golf ball with a golf club.

Make sure to identify the action-reaction force pair and describe the strength of the action force compared to the strength of the reaction force.

Jack Nicklaus once said about golf that "hitting a perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke." Science of Golf (SOG): Newton’s Third Law of Motion and Momentum explains what happens when a golfer swings a golf club and applies a big force to the small golf ball. The video features amateur golfer and Stanford University student Patrick Rodgers who gives his opinion on the importance of knowing what causes power and speed in the golf swing. Jim Hubbell, research engineer at the United States Golf Association (USGA) discusses what forces are and how they work in pairs. Hubbell also defines momentum and how it is transferred to the ball.

Hope this helps
