If the linear velocity of a club head in the golf swing is 50m/s at impact, what was the angular velocity if the club is .95m long?
To find the angular velocity of the club, we can use the formula:
Angular velocity (ω) = Linear velocity (v) / Radius (r)
In this case, the linear velocity of the club head is given as 50 m/s, and the length of the club is given as 0.95 m.
To calculate the angular velocity, divide the linear velocity by the radius:
Angular velocity (ω) = 50 m/s / 0.95 m
Calculating this gives us:
Angular velocity (ω) ≈ 52.63 rad/s
So, the angular velocity of the club head in the golf swing is approximately 52.63 rad/s.
