Linear Momentum Question – Biomechanics/Maths/Physics?
A 108cm golf club weighing 0.73kg is swung for 0.5seconds with a constant acceleration of 10rad/s^2
What is the linear momentum of the club head when it impacts the ball??
This question is bugging me!! Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
(rad. vel.) = (rad. acc.) * time = 10*0.5= 5 rad/s
linear vel. = r * (rad. vel.) = 1.08*5 = 5.4 m/s
linear momentum = (linear. vel.) * mass = 5.4 * 0.73 = 3.94 kgm/s
