High speed stroboscopic photographs show the head of a 215g golf club traveling at 55.0m/s just before it strikes a 46g golf ball at rest on a tee. After the collision, the club travels (in the same direction) at 42m/s. Use the law of conservation of momentum to find the speed of the golf ball just after the impact.
What is 61m/s.
Does a large force always mean a large Impulse?
no, because the change in momentum = F*t, it is possible for a large force applied over a very short time interval to change the momentum less than a smaller force applied over a longer time period.
Why does a gun recoil when it is fired? Use momentum to explain your answer.
A gun recoils when fired because the bullet gains forward momentum, and to conserve momentum, the gun must move backward with equal and opposite momentum
