Would you be able to hit a golf ball farther on earth or Pluto?

You would hit a golf ball farther on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to Pluto's weaker gravity. This means the ball would stay in the air longer on Earth and travel a greater distance before landing.


Would a frozen golf ball have less rebound than a boiled golf ball?

In essence yes because all of the particles have frozen and expanded making the ball brital Now when you hit the ball with a golf club the kinetic energy will be isolated a bit from the ball making it slower and have less rebound then a boiled golf ball.


How far would a golf ball go on Ganymede?

The surface gravity on Ganymede is 0.146 g, 14.6 % of the Earths and similar (a little lower) than our moons gravity of 0.165g. there is also no air resistance to slow the ball down. So if hit with the same force as on earth, a golf ball on Ganymede could probably reach 2-3 miles before landing, spending more than a minute in the air.


Does a golf ball on the grass have a potential energy?

Yes, a golf ball on the grass has potential energy due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. When the ball is raised to a certain height, it gains potential energy which can be converted into kinetic energy when it is in motion.


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.

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.

Do golf balls become weightless on the moon?

no, a golf ball would weigh about 1/6 what it weighs on earth.


How much would the earth weigh if it had dimples like a golf ball?

If all the earth's material were re-shaped so the earth looked like a golf ball, it would weigh the same as it does now. And that's about 5.9736×1024 kg.


Does friction cause a golf ball to slow down?

Yes, things such as longer grass and water on the greens will slow a ball down.


What is the rule if the ball moves when in your down swing and you carry on and hit the golf ball?

nothing you play the ball from where it lies from where you hit it

Why do you top a golf ball?

You are not staying down through the ball, you are lifting or rocking back before contact.
