Physics in Golf: Torque and Moment of Inertia

What are the two key physics concepts introduced in the context of a golfer's swing?

• Friction and Gravity

• Mass and Weight

• Torque and Moment of Inertia

• Velocity and Acceleration

How does torque affect the movement of a golf club during a swing?

• It alters the rate of rotation

• It makes the club lighter

• It changes the club's color

• It slows down the club

What analogy is used to explain the concept of torque in the video?

• A ball rolling down a hill

• A wrench loosening a bolt

• A car accelerating

• A pendulum swinging

What does a larger moment of inertia in a golf club head help achieve?

• A faster swing

• A longer drive

• A higher jump

• A straighter shot

Why has the USGA placed limits on the size of a golf club head?

• To make the game easier

• To increase the weight of the club

• To reduce the cost of clubs

• To ensure the golfer's skill determines the shot
