AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving a physics problem involving a golf ball's momentum and force after being struck by a club. The golfer imparts a velocity of +33 m/s to a 0.045 kg ball over a contact time of 4.45 ms. Participants are seeking guidance on calculating the change in momentum and the average force exerted on the ball. Additionally, a related problem involving two joggers' momenta is mentioned, with advice given to find the components of each jogger's momentum for summation. The thread emphasizes the need for clarity in applying impulse and momentum equations to solve these problems.

Homework Statement



A golfer, driving a golf ball off the tee, gives the ball a velocity of +33 m/s. The mass of the ball is 0.045 kg, and the duration of the impact with the golf club is 4.45 10-3 s.

(a) What is the change in momentum of the ball?
kgm/s

(b) Determine the average force applied to the ball by the club.
N


Homework Equations



what equation are needed?

thank you, this is the second problem I am stuck on...any help is appreciated.

An 85 kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.2 m/s. A 55 kg jogger is heading 34° north of east at a speed of 2.8 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the sum of momenta of the two joggers.
 
Where are you stuck? Find the components of each jogger's momentum and add them up.
 
thanks for the help from both of you...
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
