A golf ball (m=26.7g) is struck a blow that makes an angle of 33.6 degrees with the horizontal. The drive lands 190m 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 7.13 ms, what is the average force of impact?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Th average force impact is [tex]F = 168.298 \ N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The mass of the golf ball is  [tex]m_g = 26.7 \ g = 0.0267 \ kg[/tex]

    The angle made is [tex]\theta = 33.6 ^o[/tex]

    The range of the golf ball  is [tex]R = 190 \ m[/tex]

     The duration of contact is [tex]\Delta t = 7.13 \ ms = 7.13 *10^{-3} \ s[/tex]

Generally the range of the golf ball is mathematically represented as

       [tex]R = \frac{v^2 sin2(\theta)}{g}[/tex]

Here v  is the velocity with which the golf club propelled it with, making  v the subject

       [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{R * g}{sin 2 (\theta)} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{190 * 9.8}{sin 2 (33.6)} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]v = 44.94 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally the change in momentum of the golf ball is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\Delta p = m * (v - u )[/tex]

here u  is the initial  velocity of the ball before being stroked and the value is 0 m/s

       [tex]\Delta p = 0.0267 * ( 44.94 - 0 )[/tex]

=>    [tex]\Delta p = 1.19996 \ kg \cdot m/s[/tex]

Generally the  average force of impact is mathematically represented as      

         [tex]F = \frac{\Delta p }{\Delta t}[/tex]

=>        [tex]F = \frac{1.19996 }{7.13 *10^{-3}}[/tex]

=>        [tex]F = 168.298 \ N[/tex]
