A student strikes a 0.055-kg golfball with a force of 260 N. If the ball moves with a velocity of 65 m/s, calculate the time the ball is in contact with the club.

Question

physical science becasue my teacher is at school while i am at home

Answer 1

Set the change in momentum equal to the impulse, and then solve for the time.

mv - m(0) = Ft

mv = Ft

t = mv / F

Plug in the numbers:

m = 0.055 kg

v = 65 m/s

F = 260 N

You will get t in seconds.
