Velocity of golf ball after collision with golf club using law of conservation of momentum is 65.21 m/s
What is momentum ?
Momentum seem to be directly dependent on the value of mass as well as velocity of the object in the direction of motion. Â it is quantified by "mass velocity". Since mass is a scalar quantity but velocity is a vector, momentum is a vector quantity.
From the given information-
mass of golf club = 200 g
mass golf ball = 46 g
velocity of club before collision = 55 m/s
velocity club after collision =40 m/s
velocity of golf ball before collision = 0 m/s
You need to use conservation of momentum here.
momentum = mass x velocity
Prior to impact, the golf club has a momentum of 0.200 kg * 55 m/s = 11.00 kg m/s.
The ball's not moving before impact, so it has a momentum of zero. Therefore the total momentum before impact will be 11.00 kg m/s. Conservation of momentum dictates the total momentum of the two objects after impact will also be 11.00 kg m/s.
We know the speed of the club after the impact, so the momentum of the club after impqact is 0.200 kg * 40 m/s =8 kg m/s.
So the momentum of the ball must be 11.00 kg m/s - 8 kg m/s = 3 kg m/s, and dividing by the mass of the ball (0.046 kg) gives the speed of the ball, 65.217 m/s
Velocity of golf ball after collision wit golf club is 65.21 m/s
