A golf ball with a mass of 43.5 g can be blasted from rest to a speed of 66.0 m/s during impact with a club head. Assume that the impact lasts only about 0.970 ms. Calculate the change in momentum of the ball.

Calculate the average force applied.
Solution:
Part (a) :calculating change in momentum
Change in momentum = =.... (1)
m = mass of ball=43.5 g=0.0435 kg
= change in velocity =66.0 m/s - 0 =66.0 m/s.. (initial velocity is "0" as ball started from rest.)
putting the values in equation (1)
.... Answer
Part (b) :Calculating average force applied.
Average force applied =F =
time of impact=0.970 ms =
Therefore
If rounded to 3 significant figures (all the given values have 3 significant figures)
F = 2960 N..... Answer
