After watching the video recommended by @erobz, I could how your words complement the pictures. The golf ball compressing into a weird shape and decompressing into another shape is a sight to see!

@Steve4Physics No, I didn't mean lower! Thanks for catching that. You say "I found" but it seemed a trivial step to go from the change in momentum to the impulse, since they are clearly related in the equation (impulse = Fdt = dp). Here's a shot at finding the value with the impulse as is...

Was reading this in the middle of my lunch. Will go back to my lunch before responding to all my fantastic respondees!

@kuruman Thanks for the reassurance! And it turned out as you expected to my delight :). Your quote "Doing physics without math is like cooking food without heat." made me grin ear to ear and chuckle.

Thanks for the welcome and providing quite a detailed description! Helped me to reinforce in my mind what is going on in this problem.

Thanks @Steve4Physics ! Thanks for breaking the question down and rewriting it for me ! I see that the ball would end up with lower velocity to the clubhead's 18 m/s, especially after following through with Nugatory's suggestion and getting the "correct" outcome. I do have another question. You...

Thanks Nugatory! I have bolded the edits based on what I think you wrote. (prior p of clubhead) + (prior p of ball) = (following p of clubhead) + (following p of ball) 0.225*30 + 0.05*0 = 0.225*18+0.05*v_f,b (where v_f,b is the following speed of the golf ball) 6.75 = 4.05+0.05*v_f,b 2.7 =...

I have done the first two parts of this question. ✅(i) Find the clubhead's change of momentum. ( dp = p_f - p_i = (0.225*18 - 0.225*30) = -2.7 kg ms^-1 ) ✅(ii) Find the impulse given to the golf ball. (F dt = dp = 2.7 Ns from part (i) with just a change in the units. Because of the...
