The concept necessary to solve this problem is linked to the conservation of momentum, for which it is established that the initial momentum must be equal to the final momentum. Therefore, the product between the initial speeds times the mass will be equal to the product of the final speeds times the mass, therefore we have that our values are:




After collision we have,


From conservation of linear momentum,

Rearranging to find the velocity 2,


Replacing,

Therefore the speed of the golf ball just after impact is 73.47m/s
