Inertia in Motion

For my blog post this week, I took a picture of my friend at a mini-golf place we went to this weekend. I think this picture shows an example of momentum because with the golf club, he has to create the right amount of momentum needed to get the ball into the hole. The mass of the ball is very light and since he’s not that far away from the hole, he could either risk it and hit it so it has a fast velocity, or he could try and tap it with a small velocity to see if that would work. I can’t remember, but I think he tapped it with a small velocity, but the momentum of the ball became perfect so it landed right in the hole.
