A woman, driving a golf ball off of the tree, gives the ball a speed of 20.0m/s. The mass of the ball is 45g and the duration of the impact with the golf club is 6.0x10^3
a) What is the change in the momentum of the ball?
b) Determine the average force applied by the club.

Respuesta :

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

a)

The change in momentum can be calculated by means of the following equation.

[tex]P=m*v[/tex]

where:

P = momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 45 [g] = 0.045 [kg]

v = velocity = 20 [m/s]

[tex]P=20*0.045\\P=0.9[kg*m/s][/tex]

b)

The change in momentum can also be calculated by means of the product of force by the duration time of the impact.

[tex]F*t=P\\F*0.006=0.9\\F=0.9/0.006\\F =150 [N][/tex]
