The head of a golf club moving at 45.0 m/s strikes a golf ball (mass = 46.0 g) resting on a tee. The effective mass of the clubhead is 220 g. (a) With what speed does the ball leave the tee? (b) With what speed would it leave the tee if you doubled the mass of the clubhead? If you tripled it? What conclusions can you draw about the use of heavy clubs? Assume that the collisions are perfectly elastic and that the golfer can bring the heavier clubs up to the same speed at impact. See Question 13.
