The Golf ball, initially at rest, has no initial momentum. The velocity the moment before the club strikes the ball and the clubs mass multiply to get the initial momentum. The ball then gains much momentum in the direction of the clubs initial momentum. Since there golfers arm is remaining attached to the shoulder the clubs acceleration is directed towards his shoulder and the momentum is directed in a circular direction.

When a golf ball is hit its momentum is due mostly to its what?

Its momentum is due to the amount of energy transfered from club to ball. There are a few factors in this transfer, the speed of the club head, the compression of the club face and most importantly the compression of the golf ball.


Explain how momentum is transferred when a golfer hits a ball with a golf club.?

In order to increase the final momentum of a golf ball you could?

To increase the final momentum of a golf ball, you could increase the initial velocity of the ball, increase the mass of the ball, or increase the duration of time that the force is applied to the ball during impact. These factors will contribute to a higher final momentum of the ball.


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?

The momentum of the golf club before the impact is 6 kg m/s (1 kg * 6 m/s). Since momentum is conserved, the momentum of the golf ball after impact will also be 6 kg m/s. Therefore, the velocity of the golf ball after the impact will be 60 m/s (6 kg m/s divided by 0.1 kg).


How is it possible to hit a golf ball on the moon?

It works the same way it does on Earth. The momentum of the club is transferred to the golf ball and it travels. And it isn't slowed down by the friction of air.


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


Could elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball?

this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a Golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.


Which element can you hit a golf ball with?

You can hit a golf ball with a golf club.


Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?

momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum


Can an elephant have the same momentum has a golf ball?

Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.


Could an elephant have the same momentum as an golf ball?

yes
