Question 11
a.

The velocity of an object of mass MMM increases from v1v_1v1​ to v2v_2v2​.

State, in terms of MMM, v1v_1v1​ and v2v_2v2​, the change in momentum of the object.

b.

In a game of golf, a player strikes a stationary golf ball with a club.

The club is in contact with the ball for 1.5 ms1.5\text{ ms}1.5 ms. The average force on the ball during this time is 1800 N1800\text{ N}1800 N.

Calculate the impulse on the golf ball.
