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 strikes the ball, the energy from his swing is transferred to the club. The club then transfers this energy to the ball upon impact, sending it flying through the air. The speed and distance the ball travels depends on the amount of energy transferred from the golfer to the club to the ball.
Energy is transferred to the pins and the deflection and contact of the pins will typically slow the ball momentum.
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.
In pool, momentum refers to the transfer of energy between the cue ball and the object ball when they collide. When the cue ball strikes the object ball, momentum is transferred, causing the object ball to move. The more momentum the cue ball has, the more force it will impart on the object ball, resulting in a faster and more controlled shot.
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.
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.
The momentum of the ball decreases because some of its momentum is transferred to the box upon collision. This conservation of momentum is described by the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant before and after a collision.
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.
You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?"It depends on the window and the size of the object you are throwing or using to break it.
When a ball bounces against a floor, the total momentum of the ball and the floor system remains constant before and after the collision, assuming there are no external forces acting on the system. This is because the force exerted by the floor on the ball during the collision changes the direction of the ball's momentum without changing its magnitude.
When you catch a softball, your hand and the glove move in the same direction that the ball is moving to cushion the impact and reduce the force on your hand. This action conserves momentum, as the momentum of the ball is transferred to your hand and glove system upon contact, leading to a decrease in the ball's momentum and an increase in the momentum of your hand and glove system.
The momemtum trasnsferred is only partial, mvcos(angle). If angle is not zero, there is momentum not transfered and thus left to move the incident ball.
