Question

In a typical tee shot, a golf ball is hit by the 300 g head of a club moving at a speed of 40 m/s. The collision with the ball happens so fast that the collision can be treated as the collision of a 300 g mass with a stationary ball—the shaft of the club and the golfer can be ignored. The 46 g ball takes off with a speed of 70 m/s. What is the change in momentum of the ball? What is the speed of the club head immediately after the collision? What fraction of the club’s kinetic energy is transferred to the ball? What fraction of the club’s kinetic energy is “lost” to thermal energy?

The 46 g ball takes off with a speed of 70 m/s.
What is the change in momentum of the ball?
What is the speed of the club head immediately after the
collision?
What fraction of the club’s kinetic energy is transferred to  the ball?

Step 1

Given: Mass of the ball, \(m_2 = 46 \, \text{g} = 0.046 \, \text{kg}\) Initial velocity of the ball, \(v_2 = 0 \, \text{m/s}\) Final velocity of the ball, \(v_{2f} = 70 \, \text{m/s}\) Change in momentum of the ball: \[\Delta p = m_2 \cdot v_{2f} - m_2 \cdot Show more…
