Work done on ball = F*X
= kinetic energy given to golf ball
= (1/2) M V^2
V = sqrt(2FX/M)
X = 0.3 m
F = 350 N
M = 0.085 kg
Solve for V
The head of a golf club exerts a force of 350N on a golf ball for 0.3m. The golf ball has a mass of 85g. What speed should the golf ball have when it leaves the club head?
