A high-speed photograph of a club hitting a golf ball is shown in the figure below.
The club was in contact with a ball, initially at rest, for about 0.0024 s. If the ball has a mass of 55 g and leaves the head of the club with a speed of 1.9 x 102 ft/s, find the average force (in kN) exerted on the ball by the club.
kN
A 0.15 kg ball is thrown with a velocity of 40 m/s and hits a bat. After the bat hits the
ball, the ball is travelling at 50 m/s. If the ball was in contact with the bat for 0.05 s, find
the force applied to the ball by the bat.
Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a). They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.42 m/s. If the boy weighs 718 N and the girl 450 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
