Calculate Force on Golf Ball Impact

[LOannie234]

A golf ball (m = 71.7 g) is struck a blow that
makes an angle of 43.1 with the horizontal.
The drive lands 122 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 6.62 ms, what is the average force of impact?
Neglect air resistance.

i tried to do 71.7(vx-v0x)/delta t and 71.7(vy-v0y)/delta t but i don't know where to go after that

You need to find the initial speed, v.

Then you can find the acceleration during the impact, and multiply by the mass to get the force.

Goodnight! :zzz:​
