Explain how momentum is transferred when a golfer hits a ball with a golf club.?

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.

When the golfer in the picture hits the ball how is energy transferred?
The energy leaves the club and enters the ball.
What happens to the momentum of the bowling ball when it hits pins?
Energy is transferred to the pins and the deflection and contact of the pins will typically slow the ball momentum.
Explain how momentum is conserved when a ball bounces against a floor?
The ball's momentum changes in one direction, the momentum of planet Earth in the opposite direction.
What is transferred from a bat to a ball when the ball is hit?
When a bat hits a Baseball the bat transfers momentum. Momentum is the force in a moving object, which can be passed on from one object to another.
What will happen to the speed of a cue ball if all of its momentum were transferred to other billiard balls when playing pool?
If no rotational momentum is present as well, only a tiny fraction of which can be transferred to another billiard ball, the cue ball will stop. If rotational momentum is present, which is a part of cue ball control, the cue ball will roll in a direction dependent upon angle of contact and direction of rotation.
A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box the momentum of the ball decreases what happens to its momentum?
Momentum (as energy) isn't lost, it is transferred. Momentum is lost to friction when the ball is rolling, but in the described situation, the momentum is basically all transferred to the box upon impact. The box may tip over if light enough, or the box may break, or if heavy enough and built well enough, the box may absorb the impact and be left seemingly untouched. If the ball continues to roll after impact (if it bounces over/around/off of the box, then only partial momentum has been transferred to the box.
When a bat hit a ball what is transferred from the bat to the ball?
When a bat hits a Baseball the bat transfers momentum. Momentum is the force in a moving object, which can be passed on from one object to another.
Does a ball exert a force on a bat?
Yes. The ball is moving, right? It has both momentum (mass times velocity) and kinetic energy (one-half the mass times the velocity squared). When you hit the ball with the bat, the energy of the ball is transferred to the bat, and the bat imposes its own energy and momentum to the ball.
Does momentum stay the same?
Yes. In the game of pool you do it to make your plays happen. When the que ball strikes another ball it imparts some to all of its energy onto the ball it hit. That ball travels off and the que ball can either finish rolling or having lost all its' forward momentum, stop.
When was John Ball - golfer - born?
John Ball - golfer - was born on 1861-12-24.
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.
The momentum of a bowling ball decreases by 0.5 kg meters per second when it hits some pins How much momentum did the pins gain Explain?
0.5 kg m/s by the law of conservation of momentum
