Question #40442
please help,
when a golfer hits a ball is in contact with the ball for about 0.0005 seconds and the ball leaves the club with a speed of 70ms^-1. The mass of the ball is 46g. Determine the mean accelerating force.

Dear Parhesh, You're welcome. We are glad to be helpful. If you liked our service please press like-button beside answer field. Thank you! Concerning acceleration value you have asked, given numbers are totally viable.

Thank you very much for the answer. However I was confused that how the acceleration of a object be so great. The acceleration of the ball in 0.0005 seconds is 140km per hour. That kind of acceleration wouldn't be possible by human force, should it??
