- Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. a) Calculate the velocity of the ball just after it is struck b) What is the 0.0450 kg ball's change in momentum?arrow_forwardA parent at a Little League game returns a foul ball by throwing it back onto the field. When the parent throws the ball back, she is standing and ends up releasing the ball from a point that is 2.50m above the ground. Your best guess is that she threw the ball upward at an angle of 60o with respect to the ground and it landed 13m away from her.
