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.

Why does a golf ball make a bigger dent in the sand when dropped above the sand at higher heights?

It has more momentum from a higher height. Because momentum is always conserved, and momentum is the product of mass times velocity, more sand particles must move away faster in order to conserve the momentum of a heavy ball moving fast. The ball is moving faster from a higher height because the acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s^2) increases the velocity of a falling object after each second its been falling.


Would you be able to hit a golf ball farther on earth or Pluto?

You would hit a golf ball farther on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to Pluto's weaker gravity. This means the ball would stay in the air longer on Earth and travel a greater distance before landing.


Does a golf ball on the grass have a potential energy?

Yes, a golf ball on the grass has potential energy due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. When the ball is raised to a certain height, it gains potential energy which can be converted into kinetic energy when it is in motion.


Where does kinetic energy go after it is used?

Kinetic energy can be transferred into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, or potential energy. For example, when a moving object comes to a stop, its kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound due to friction.


How magnetic moment of electron is associated with angular momentum of electron?

magnetic moment of a particle is due to its motion around some other orbits or about its own orbit i.e due to its orbital angular momentum or its spin angular momentum.

If a golf ball and a bowling ball are rolled toward each other when they collide and the bowling ball stops how does the golf balls speed compare with the bowling balls speed?

the golf ball stopped but the bowling ball keep rolling due to their different size and weight.as we know bowling ball is bigger in size as well as weight so it will face more fictin force and stops early as compare to golf ball when they collide and at the same time bowling ball poshes the golf ball back.so the golf ball stops and the golf ball keeps rolling.


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.


Does a golf ball fly farther in hot or cold?

A hot ball would travel farther, assuming the same volume of air is within both. This is because the warm air would expand, creating pressure within the ball. The more firm the ball is, the less force it absorbs on impact, which causes the energy to be converted into momentum.


What happens when a falling down ball hits the ground?

When a falling ball hits the ground, it experiences a sudden change in momentum and kinetic energy. The impact causes the ball to bounce back up due to the conservation of energy and momentum.


How much more matter is in a golf ball than a ping pong ball?

That really depends but you can get a basic idea by: 1. Stab something through a ping pong ball 2. Attempt to stab something through Golf ball Tell me which has more matter? A ping ball is basically a shell on the outside of golf ball; it has no inside, and golf ball is filled inner material.


Do you performing dolphin speed through the water and hit a rubber ball originally at rest describe what happens to the velocity of the dolphin and the ball?

When the dolphin hits the ball, the dolphin's velocity will decrease due to the impact, while the ball's velocity will increase as it gains momentum from the force of the dolphin. This follows the principle of conservation of momentum, where the total momentum of the system (dolphin and ball) remains constant.


What energy is transferred as a golf club does work on a golf ball?

When a golf club strikes a golf ball, kinetic energy from the club is transferred to the ball. This energy transfer propels the ball forward, converting the club's motion into the ball's motion. Additionally, some energy may be converted into sound and heat due to friction during the impact. Overall, the primary energy transferred is kinetic energy.


How would the measurable properties of a golf ball change if it was moved from the earth to the moon?

The weight of the golf ball would be about 1/6th of its weight on Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity. The golf ball would also experience different air resistance on the moon because it has no atmosphere. Additionally, the golf ball's bounce and roll characteristics would be different on the moon's surface due to the lower gravity and lack of atmosphere.


Would a fast ball have a lot of momentum?

As opposed to a slow ball yes... try adding some context to your questions, in comparison to a feather floating through the air its a juggernaut as compared to a charging rhino it's laughable. F=ma (Force = Mass x Acceleration)


How many parts to a golf ball?

There are at least 3 parts to a golf ball. The core, the wind, and the outer cover. However, some of the new hi-tech balls may have more parts due to how they were designed.


What makes a golf ball bounce?

AnswerIt has to do with the material a golf ball is made out of. It is a extremely strong material. A golf ball needs to bounce high to be able to get hit by a golf club and fly through the air and hit the ground and bounce. Due to that information a golf ball will bounce highest compared to almost ANY other balls. A golf ball is the winner of bouncing the highest.
