Does the momentum change or stay the same when a golf club hits the golf ball?

The energy of the moving club slows, because some energy must be transferred to the ball. (the second law of thermodynamics will show this). It even slows as it travels through the air, because of entropy, and energy being released into the air in the form of small amounts of heat.

When a golf ball is hit its momentum is due mostly to its what?
Its momentum is due to the amount of energy transfered from club to ball. There are a few factors in this transfer, the speed of the club head, the compression of the club face and most importantly the compression of the golf ball.
In order to increase the final momentum of a golf ball you could?
Hit it harder with a club.
How is momentum transfered when golf club hits a golf ball?
The golf ball, initially at rest, has no initial momentum. The velocity the moment before the club strikes the ball and the clubs mass multiply to get the initial momentum. The ball then gains much momentum in the direction of the clubs initial momentum. Since there golfers arm is remaining attached to the shoulder the clubs acceleration is directed towards his shoulder and the momentum is directed in a circular direction.

How is it possible to hit a golf ball on the moon?
It works the same way it does on Earth. The momentum of the club is transferred to the golf ball and it travels. And it isn't slowed down by the friction of air.
If a 1 kg golf club swung at 6 meters per second hits a 01 kg golf ball and all of the momentum is transferred to the golf ball what is the velocity of the golf ball after the impact?
assuming you meant to say "0.1 kg golf ball": 60 m/s Too easy
When a golf club strikes a golf ball the force exerted by the ball on the club depends on?
the mass of the ball and club and the velocity of the club
Could elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball?
this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a Golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
Could an elephant have the same momentum as an golf ball?
yes
Is a ball retriever a legal golf club?
No, a ball retriever does not count as a club in your bag.
What is a golf club?
It is a device used to hit a golf ball in the game of golf or it is a member club in the grounds of which golf is played.
