Problem 77PP Hitting a Golf Ball Consider a golf club hitting a golf ball. To a good approximation, we can model this as a collision between the rapidly moving head of the golf club and the stationary golf ball, ignoring the shaft of the club and the golfer. A golf ball has a mass of 46 g. Suppose a 200 g club head is moving at a speed of 40 m/s just before striking the golf ball. After the collision, the golf ball’s speed is 60 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the momentum of the club + ball system will be A. Less than before the collision. B. The same as before the collision. C. Greater than before the collision.

Problem 78PP Hitting a Golf Ball Consider a golf club hitting a golf ball. To a good approximation, we can model this as a collision between the rapidly moving head of the golf club and the stationary golf ball, ignoring the shaft of the club and the golfer. A golf ball has a mass of 46 g. Suppose a 200 g club head is moving at a speed of 40 m/s just before striking the golf ball. After the collision, the golf ball’s speed is 60 m/s. A manufacturer makes a golf ball that compresses more than a traditional golf ball when struck by a club. How will this affect the average force during the collision? A. The force will decrease. B. The force will not be affected. C. The force will increase.

Problem 79PP Hitting a Golf Ball Consider a golf club hitting a golf ball. To a good approximation, we can model this as a collision between the rapidly moving head of the golf club and the stationary golf ball, ignoring the shaft of the club and the golfer. A golf ball has a mass of 46 g. Suppose a 200 g club head is moving at a speed of 40 m/s just before striking the golf ball. After the collision, the golf ball’s speed is 60 m/s. By approximately how much does the club head slow down as a result of hitting the ball? A. 4 m/s B. 6 m/s C. 14 m/s D. 26 m/s
