HOLY SHIT

old ball?

It will grow out again.

Oh how i love DragonBall Z

I'd like to see your face when you realise this is legit and you feel like an idiot for saying that...

I study physics at the university and we used this to prove that a force always results in either movement or deforming. Since the golf ball can't move past the enforced metal plate, it's only option is to deform.

Then, due to the third law of Newton it receives a force equal to the force on it's impact but in the other direction. Resulting in it going the other way.

This whole process is called "bouncing". I'm sure you heard of it. It kinda happens a lot and everyday...

Another thing, just a thought, we all know how much bounce you can get from a golf ball off of a hard surface. it should of at least left the frame if it was in fact a golfball and still whole.. not absorb most of the impact and linger that long, seems to be moving way too slow for it to be a proper bounce from a proper golfball

Well that's the point. the more the object deforms the better it bounces (compare a rubber ball with a brick, the brick won't bounce much because it doesn't deform as much as the ball)

The force pointed to the wall is used to deform the object, and the reaction force created by the wall is used to send it back where it came from.
For example: imagine that the ball doesn't deform at all.
the the force of the ball would be equal to the force created by the wall as a reaction.
Therefore these would even each other out and it would drop dead instead of bouncing back.

thanks genius you know never noticed that before......if you notice how fast the ball is moving before it hits the wall, at most a golfball would lose like half its velocity on impact, so it should of left the frame or atleast been moslty out of frame by the time this gif was done if it was a golfball..

well played sir, well played

yes, yes it is.
but not all items break immediately, and a golf ball can deform quite much without breaking in pieces.

i know its called bouncing... but to bounce it has to deform and compress... and im telling you a golf ball cannot deform THAT much without cracking or breaking all togeather... study physics all you want, speed cant make a solid object turn into rubber...

That's the beauty of it, with a golf ball you can deform it that much without cracking it because it's made of a special material and because it happens really fast.

If for example you would have used a brick, that would have shattered.

The matter from which the bouncing object is made is very important in this process.

Things can deform to ridiculous shapes if it happens in a short enough amount of time, this is gonna sound weird but the golf ball sort of doesn't have enough TIME to crack
