When you drop a golf ball to the pavement it bounces up?
When a golf ball is dropped, it gains potential energy due to gravity. As it hits the pavement, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the ball to bounce back up. The elasticity of the ball and the pavement determine how high it will bounce.
What affect does gravity have on the game of golf?
Firstly gravity has an EFFECT (noun), or gravity AFFECTS (verb) the game, please don't confuse the two. Gravity affects the trajectory (flight) of the ball in terms of its height and therefore distance travelled on each elevated shot (once it reaches the ground its continued progress is halted by resistance of the surface on which it has landed (grass, or unfortunately sand). Gravity is what causes the ball to drop into the cup and signifies the end of each hole.
How does gravity affect the mass of dropping stuff?
Gravity accelerates the centres of the two masses towards their joint centre of mass. Obviously, if there is a huge difference between the two objects, such as a ball and the earth, the centre of mass of the combined system will be indistinguishably close to the centre of the earth and so it will accelerate the ball towards the centre of the earth. Also, while it will accelerate the earth towards the ball, the force will be too small to measure.
Would a golf ball have more or less potential energy on the moon and why?
A golf ball would have less potential energy on the moon compared to Earth because the strength of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on Earth. With less gravitational pull to overcome, the golf ball would not have to work as hard to reach the same height on the moon, resulting in lower potential energy.
Which ball will bounce first a bouncy ball or a golf ball?
A bouncy ball will bounce first because it is designed to have high elasticity and bounce easily upon impact. Golf balls are designed to have less bounce and tend to roll more on impact with the ground.
What is the center of gravity on a sphere?
Assuming the ball is a perfect sphere of uniform density, and is suspended from a massless string, the centre of gravity is in the centre of the ball.
What foodstuff is used as a centre of a golf ball?
a jawbreaker
Which Golf iron do you use for hitting the ball high?
As in club? A 7 iron up. But as in type, an oversized iron with a low centre of gravity, this will help get the ball in the air, and therefore get the ball to stop on the green quicker.
What force makes a golf ball sink in water?
Gravity.
Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
Yes, a golf ball will fall when dropped on the Moon due to the presence of gravity. However, the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is weaker than on Earth, so the ball will fall more slowly.
What is COG of golf club?
The COG of a golf club is the centre of gravity. The clubs are designed to have a low COG to get the ball airborne. For high handicap clubs, there is a lot of weight to the club, drawing the COG to make sure the ball gets up easier, and also makes the clubs very forgiving.
What is call the golf ball what is it?
A golf ball is a small ball (with a dimpled surface) that is used in the game of golf. It has a small centre of semi-liquid latex rubber, which is surrounded by a wrapping of a narrow elastic ribbon to bring the ball to the correct size (volume). There is an outer harder plastic skin to produce the finished golf ball.
What is a backweight?
A backweight is a weight attached to the back of a golf club in order to give it a lower centre of gravity.
Why wide sole on golf clubs?
Wide soles on golf clubs are more forgiving if you catch the ground slightly before the ball it will slide along to the ball and still go pretty well, unlike with a thinner sole where it could go right into the ground and the ball would go right in front of you. They also allow the manufacturer to put the centre of gravity lower and to the back thus making it easier to get the ball in the air.
Will a bowling ball or golf ball hit the ground first?
The bowling ball will hit the ground first because it has more mass than the golf ball, so it experiences a greater force of gravity pulling it downward. This causes the bowling ball to accelerate more quickly than the golf ball, making it reach the ground sooner.
What type of energy is a golf ball hit?
if the golf ball is hit into the air, the forces on the golf ball are pushing (when the golf ball is hit) and air resistance (when it is flying through the air). when the ball hits the ground and starts to roll, the only force acting on it is friction.
How would the measurable properties of a golf ball change if it was moved from the earth to the moon?
The weight of the golf ball would be about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity. The golf ball would also experience different air resistance on the moon because it has no atmosphere. Additionally, the golf ball's bounce and roll characteristics would be different on the moon's surface due to the lower gravity and lack of atmosphere.
