a Golf ball of with a mass of 45g and diamter 4.3cm reach terminal speed when dropped from a height of 25m, the drag coefficient is 0.35 and the density of air is 1.2kg/m^3.

using the formulavt=sqrt(2∗mgCpA)

vt=sqrt(2∗(45g)(9.8m/s2)(.35)(1.2kg/m3)(0.043m))

so pluggeed that into my calculator, and found the terminal speed of 220.99m/s.

When a golf club strikes a golf ball the force exerted by the ball on the club depends on?

the mass of the ball and club and the velocity of the club


If a golf ball and a bowling ball collide and the bowling ball keeps moving How did the golf ball's speed compare with the bowling ball's speed?

The force of the bowling ball colliding with the golf ball causes the golf ball to be redirected in an elastic collision. How fast either travels depends on the friction of the surface and the angle of contact with the bowling ball.Comparative Masses and EnergyIn the collision between a golf ball and a bowling ball, the fact that the bowling ball continues to move (although possibly changed in direction) is a function of the comparative masses of the two. The bowling ball is much more massive, so at normal velocities its kinetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy of the golf ball. In order to "stop" the bowling ball, the golf ball would have to make a perfectly aimed collision, and have a much higher velocity. Quantitatively, the velocity of the golf ball would have to be the inverse ratio of the ratio of the masses of the two balls, so that the kinetic energy (mass times velocity) is equal and in the opposite direction.Example : Golf ball at 45 g, ten pound bowling ball at 4500 g -- the golf ball would have to move at 100 times the velocity of the bowling ball to counteract its kinetic energy. If the bowling ball rolls at 2 m/sec, the golf ball would have to travel at more than 200 m/sec (720 kph or 447 mph), about 3 times a ball's normal velocity off the face of a golf club.


If a 1 kg golf club swung at 6 meters per second hits a 01 kg golf ball and all of the momentum is transferred to the golf ball what is the velocity of the golf ball after the impact?

assuming you meant to say "0.1 kg golf ball": 60 m/s Too easy


Does the height effect the bounce of the ball?

Yes, assuming the ball has elasticity and you haven't exceeded the height where the ball, when dropped, reaches terminal velocity.


What is the terminal velocity of a falling object on earth?

An object that has reached its terminal velocity is going at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity. The rate of change is zero. Therefore, the acceleration is zero.


What does a parachute do to terminal velocity?

It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.


What falls faster a golf ball or a table tennis ball?

The golf ball will land first. All objects fall at the same speed, but that's in a vacuum. The ping pong ball has a huge amount of drag (which is air resistance) for its weight, so it will be slowed enough for there to be a visible difference.AnswerThe golf ball will reach only a second or so before the ping pong ball. The chair will not be high enough for the ping pong ball to be considerably slowed due to air resistance.


What is most important in golf ball distance the velocity of the club or the mass of the club?

mass of the club


What moves faster a ball thrown down or a ball falling down?

A ball thrown down. The thrown ball will have a greater initial velocity and since they experience the same force of gravity, it will always be faster (until they both reach terminal velocity).


When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?

In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.


Can an elephant have the same momentum as a golf Ball?

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Since a golf ball has a much lower mass than an elephant, it would have to have a much higher velocity to achieve the same momentum as an elephant. But it is definitely possible.
