Since the golf ball is at rest initially it has no momentum. Therefore the final momentum is the impulse. momentum = (mass)(velocity) momentum = (.045)(45) momentum = 2.025 So using the impulse formula: impulse = (foce)(time) 2.025 = (force)(4.6x10^-3) force = 440 Impulse is 2.025 Force is 440 Impulse is the change in momentum. Since the golf ball is at rest initially it has no momentum. Therefore the final momentum is the impulse.

momentum = (mass)(velocity)

momentum = (.045)(45)

momentum = 2.025

So using the impulse formula: impulse = (foce)(time)

2.025 = (force)(4.6×10^-3)

force = 440

Impulse is 2.025

Force is 440
