10 12 In the game of golf a stationary ball is hit by a club. One of the aims of the game is to land the ball on a patch of ground called the green. The graph shows how the force F exerted by the club on the ball varies with time t as the ball is hit. 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 t / ms F / kN (a) State why the area under the graph represents impulse.

Turn over 11 (ii) The ball has a time of flight of 3.5 s before landing. The green is a vertical distance of 7.5 m above the point at which the ball was hit, as shown. The green is about seventy metres away from where the ball is hit. flight of ball green 7.5 m ball hit at this point Deduce whether, if air resistance is ignored, the ball could land on the green after a flight time of 3.5 s.
