Impulse Calculations With Graphs


Now we are going to use a Force Versus Time graph to calculate the impulse imparted upon a golf ball by a golf club.





Imagine the graph at the right represents the force exerted by a golf club on a 0.0459 kilogram golf ball. 
Picture
Above you can see the Force Versus Time graph for the force exerted by a golf club on a golf ball.

Let's review how we define impulse.  Fill in the blanks in the self-quiz below.

We know that the impulse imparted upon the golf ball is the same thing as the ball's change in momentum. But, impulse has another definition: impulse is equal to multiplied by . We will use the graph above and this formula to calculate the impulse imparted upon a golf ball.
