Golf impact and flight physics question!?
The 'magic' angle to throw a projectile for maximum distance is 45* as with a javelin or shot putt throw. Why then does a golf ball hit with a 9iron (45* loft) travel a far less distance than a ball hit with a driver (10.5* loft)? Assume the momentum is equal for each club head and that the compression of the driver face is negligible.
Try to think about the differing impacts.
The total kinetic energy that each ball (in physics this is a spherical projectile) possesses after impact.
Neglect the following:
Wind.
The roll of the ball after landing (only consider the impact and flight.)
the difference is down to the amount of spin an the ball ,which makes any calculation almost impossible, transfer of momentum is not the governing factor transfer of force ie acceleration is the governing factor
