What is a banana golf ball?
A "banana ball" in golf is an uncontrollable slice. A slice is a shot that curves in the air hard from left to right (for right-handers). It is common among beginners and high-handicap players.
What type of energy is a golf ball hit?
if the golf ball is hit into the air, the forces on the golf ball are pushing (when the golf ball is hit) and air resistance (when it is flying through the air). when the ball hits the ground and starts to roll, the only force acting on it is friction.
What is whiffing at the ball in golf?
When you completely miss the ball, just hit air.
Why will a ping pong ball hit the ground after a golf ball?
Air resistance.
What is the density of a hollow golf ball?
The density of a golf ball with the full contents is about .65 ounces per cubic inch. With the air inside, a golf ball will have a much smaller density, though due to the layers found in a golf ball, this will vary based on how 'hollow' the ball is made, as well as what manufacturer is used.
Will a golf ball hit the ground first or will a football?
In a vacuum they are both the same. In air the golf ball hasless wind resistance and will hit first
Why is a golf ball heavier than a ping-pong ball even though the balls are the same size?
The interior of a ping-pong ball is filled with air, while the interior of a golf ball is made of solid material (rubbers) that are heavier (denser) than air. Thus wile about the same size a golf ball is much heavier than a ping-pong ball.
What is an unsuccessful attempt to hit the ball in golf called?
An air shot.
Which ball rolls down a slope faster a golf ball or a tennis ball?
The mass of the objects don't matter in free fall - they both fall at the same time, assuming air resistance is negligible. However in your case, the golf ball has less air resistance than a tennis ball (add that to the fact tennis ball consist most of air inside adding more to the air resistance). Therefore, the golf ball falls faster than a tennis ball - Hope that helped!
Which has more mass a ping pong ball or a golf ball?
Because a golf ball is denser. When you cut a golf ball and a table tennis ball in half, the golf ball is solid all the way through. The table tennis ball has a cavity filled with mostly air inside.
What is friction in golf?
What is friction in golf? This seems like a simple question on the surface (pun intended). Deep down, it is a very, very complex question which could have numerous answers and explanations.To understand how friction factors into golf, an understanding of friction is necessary. Friction generally refers to the physical resistance between objects in motion which come in contact with each other. Each object will have a direct effect on the motion, or ability to move, of the other object.Friction plays a big part on how golf is played, and on how the equipment performs. Here are a few of the major elements of the game in which friction plays a large role.Ball FlightThere is friction when a golf ball travels though the air. This friction occurs between the surface of the golf ball, and the particles which make up the air it is traveling through. Air which is thicker or more dense provides more resistance to the golf ball through friction. This resistance causes the ball to travel shorter distances. More moisture in the air means more resistance and an even shorter ball flight. Air density is affected by gravity. Farther from the earth�s surface gravity is lessened, resulting in thinner air. Thinner air provides less friction and resistance, resulting in the ball traveling farther. Because of the differences in air density due to altitude, the golf ball generally flies shorter closer to sea level.Ball RollOnce a ball hits the ground there is considerably more resistance and friction. This friction occurs between the surface of the golf ball and the ground. Because the ground causes far more friction and resistance than the air, a golf ball will travel a considerably longer distance airborne than it would rolling on the ground.The makeup of the ground where the ball is rolling can have varying levels of friction. For instance a sand trap would have more friction than a tightly mowed grassy area. That friction prevents the ball from travelling very far, which is why most shots which land in sand traps tend to stay in them and not bounce out.Similarly, longer grass produces far more friction than shorter grass. The ball will travel shorter distances in longer grass because of the increased resistance and friction.Club-Ball FrictionFor the split second that the golf club comes in contact with the golf ball at impact, there is a tremendous amount of friction. Impact friction is an interaction between the golf ball�s surface and the face of the golf club.When a golf club strikes a golf ball, this friction and resistance can greatly affect the flight of the ball due to the amount of spin imparted on the ball. For instance, a club glancing across the ball will create a side-spin, due to the friction and interaction between the club and the ball. That side-spin can cause the ball to curve in a particular direction, depending on the angle that the club cut across the ball. This is how draws (slight curves from right-to-left for right-handed players), fades (slight curves from left-to-right for right handed players), hooks (large curves from right-to-left for right-handed players), and slices (large curves from left-to-right for right-handed players) are produced.
What can be done for loss of ability to see golf balls in flight?
use a ball traker that folllows the ball through the air. it costs roun $500 at golf town :)
