A golf ball with a mass of 48.0 g can be blasted from rest to a speed of 69.4 m/s during impact with a club head. Assume that the impact lasts only about 1.010 ms. Calculate the change in momentum of the ball. Calculate the average force applied.

Answer 1

momentum at start = 0
momentum at end = .048*69.4

F = change in momentum/change in time
(That is the original form Newton gave for the second law. If m is constant that is F=mA)

= .048*69.4 / .00101 Newtons
