Question

7. A golfer hits a golf ball a through a horizontal displacement of 80m. The time of flight for the ball was 1.8

seconds. Keeping it simple, ignoring friction and the ball's rotation, determine the velocity (magnitude and
direction) of the ball as it left the golfer's club.

Answer 1

44.4 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v

d = v*t

v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s
