    Hi
In summary, the problem involves a golf ball of specific dimensions and mass being hit by a golf club with a given force and inclination. It experiences air friction during flight and lands inelastically in a sand pit at the same elevation. The question is asking for the action of the golf ball in this scenario, but more information is needed to fully understand the problem.

Homework Statement



It is a windless day at standard temperature and pressure. A golf ball of mass 45.5 grams and 4.25 cm diameter rests on a golf tee. It is hit by a golf club in an elastic collision with inclination pi/6 and force 16k Newtons. During flight, the air friction is 0.25 Newton seconds/meter. The ball lands inelastically in ...a sand pit at the same elevation as the golf tee.
Q: What was the action of the golf ball ?

The problem statement appears incomplete, or at least has some typos in it. What do you mean by "the air friction is 0.25 Newton seconds/meter"? That's not the force of friction -- what measure of friction is it? And you need to define what you mean by "action" of the ball. What are the possible "actions"?
