A golf ball (m = 38.6 g) is struck a blow that
makes an angle of 46.3 degrees with the horizontal.
The drive lands 273 m away on a flat fairway.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 .
If the golf club and ball are in contact for
10.2 ms, what is the average force of impact?
Neglect air resistance. Answer in units of N.
I found the velocity, where do I go from here?

Force is change in momentum per unit time!
