Question
Consider a golf club hitting a golf ball. To a good approximation, we can model this as a collision between the rapidly moving head of the golf club and the stationary golf ball, ignoring the shaft of the club and the golfer.
A golf ball has a mass of 46 g. Suppose a 200 g club head is moving at a speed of 40 m/s just before striking the golf ball. After the collision, the golf ball's speed is 60 m/s.Immediately after the collision, the momentum of the club + ball system will be
A. Less than before the collision.
B. The same as before the collision.
C. Greater than before the collision.
