Answer:

HELLO! I WILL EXPLAIN WHY GOLF BALLS HAVE DIMPLES.

Step-by-step explanation:

DIMPLES ON A GOLF BALL CREATE A THIN BOUNDARY LAYER OF AIR THAT CLINGS TO THE BALL'S SURFACE. THIS ALLOWS THE AIR TO FOLLOW THE BALL'S SURFACE A LITTLE FARTHER AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE BALL, THEREBY DECREASING THE SIZE OF THE WAKE.

I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THE CAP LOCKS I THINK MY CAP LOCKS BUTTON IS PUSHED, AND IT IS NOT POPPING UP FOR SOME REASON.

ANYWAYS, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!
