A golfer, driving a golf ball off the tee, gives the ball a velocity of 38 m/sec. The mass of the ball is 0.045 kg, and the duration of the impact with the golf club is 0.003 sec. What is the change in momentum of the ball?

Allen · Answer 1

momentum (p) = mass * velocity.

Change in momentum (∆p) = final momentum - initial momentum.

∆p = 0.045*38 - 0.045*0

∆p = 1.7 kg m/s.
