Impulse and momentum of a golf ball

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concepts of impulse and momentum as applied to a golf ball and a bowling ball. Rocio strikes a 0.058kg golf ball with a force of 272N, resulting in a velocity of 62.0m/s, prompting the calculation of the contact time between the club and the ball. Additionally, a force of 186N acting on a 7.3kg bowling ball for 0.40s leads to inquiries about the change in momentum and velocity of the bowling ball. These calculations are essential for understanding the principles of impulse and momentum in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Second Law of Motion
  • Basic knowledge of impulse and momentum concepts
  • Familiarity with force, mass, and acceleration calculations
  • Ability to perform unit conversions and basic algebra
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate the time of contact using the impulse-momentum theorem
  • Explore the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in detail
  • Learn how to calculate change in momentum using the formula Δp = F × t
  • Investigate real-world applications of impulse and momentum in sports physics
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics, as well as educators and tutors assisting with impulse and momentum concepts.

Rocio strikes a 0.058kg golf ball with a force of 272N and gives it a velocity of 62.0m/s. How long was Rocio's club in contact with the ball?





A force of 186N acts on a 7.3kg bowling ball for .40s. What is the bowling ball's change in momentum? What is its change in velocity?


Sorry, I was sick and didn't come to school for some time, missed the whole unit of impulse and momentum. My teacher left me with a TON of make-up assignments, and they're really hard for me. Please help?

Tell me how much you already know about momentum and impulse (and Newton's second law too).
