how does the use of a golf club make it easier to move a golf ball from its starting position to a hole 250 yards away?
A.the golf club reduces the distance over which the input force is applied
B.the golf club reduces the input force needed.(I PICKED THIS)
C.the golf club changes the direction of the input force.
D.the golf club changes the size of the input force.
not sure what you mean by "input force." Is that the force applied to the ball by the club, or the force applied to the club by the golfer?
Your right :-)
It's d.the golf club changes the size of the input force. FACT
this better be right or I am dead
Dont trust this site. It gave me the wrong answers and im mad
The correct answer is B) the golf club reduces the input force needed.
Explanation: The use of a golf club makes it easier to move a golf ball from its starting position to a hole 250 yards away because it allows you to apply a greater amount of force to the ball. When you swing the club, the force exerted on the ball is increased due to the longer lever arm provided by the club. This allows you to transfer more energy to the ball, giving it a greater velocity and distance.
In other words, the golf club acts as a force multiplier by increasing the leverage you have over the ball. By increasing the distance between the handle of the club and the clubhead, it creates a longer lever arm. According to the principle of leverage, a longer lever arm increases the mechanical advantage, making it easier to move the golf ball with less input force.
So, option B) the golf club reduces the input force needed, is the correct answer.
