Use the image to answer questions 1–4.
When the golf ball is at rest, what is the value of F₁?
It is equal to F₂.
It is equal to F₃.
It is equal to F₄.
It is equal to zero
The golfer hits the ball with an applied force of F₃ and it launches into the sky. Which other force must have increased in value as it flies off the tee?
F₁, the normal force of the tee
F₂, the gravitational force
F₄, the frictional force of air resistance
All of these forces would have increased.
The golfer hits the ball with an applied force of F₃, and it launches into the sky. Which force must have disappeared as it flies off the tee?
F₃, the applied force of the golf club.
A wind begins to blow from behind the golfer toward the flag. Without knowing the magnitude, what could you do to correct the vector diagram in light of this new event?
Write in a new arrow in the same direction as F₃.
Write in a new arrow in the same direction as F₄.
Write in a new arrow in the same direction as F₂..
Nothing; no correction is necessary, since wind is not a force
Inertia is best described as
the tendency for objects to resist force.
the tendency for objects to move
the tendency for objects to resist changes in motion.
. the tendency for objects to decelerate
