Let's assume that your Golf ball is 1.680 inches in diameter - the smallest size golf ball allowed in certain golfing associations. Then we know that the circumference of the golf ball will be the distance it would roll in one complete rotation.
Circumference = pi * diameter
Circumference = 3.14 * 1.680 in
Circumference = 5.2752 inches = the distance that this particular golf ball would roll

How does math affect sports?
because if your in football you would need the numbers how far or kick the ball if in golf you need to kown how far to hit the ball
How far different size ball will roll if they are let go at the same spot on a hill?
If two round objects roll down a hill, the one with the greater mass will roll faster. If they are dropped they will fall at the same rate.
Galileo found that a ball rolling down one inclined plane would roll how far up another inclined plane?

Force summation applied to a golf swing?
Yes, it can. When you are hitting the golf ball with the swing you first go through a series of movements. First, you twist your body, you then take the stick back as far as possible to give yourself time to develop force. Then you bring it forward to hit the ball. Of course, there are other actions that may be included but this is a simpler explanation.
What is the speed of a golf ball per hour?
A golf ball has no speed of its own. It gets some only when it is whacked ordropped, and then the speed it gets depends on how far it drops or on howhard it is whacked.If it is dropped, then its speed begins at zero, and becomes 22 miles per hourfaster each second that it falls.If it is whacked, then it usually has less speed on the green and more speedoff of the tee.On the green, I think the idea is to roll the ball slowly and carefully, with justenough speed to avoid any effects due to grass, and likewise to avoid rollingso fast that it might skip over the cup.Off the tee, until at least 2011, Tom Watson had the longest average drivein professional golf, with an average drive of 315.2 yards, and was capableof generating a ball speed of 194 mph and drives of up to 370 yards.Some of the world's longest drivers who are not professional golfers butcompete in Long Drive contests such as the RE/MAX World Long DriveChampionship, including Jamie Sadlowski and Mike Dobbyn, are capable ofhitting a ball over 400 yards and over 220 mph.To me, all of that seems like a tragic waste of effort and expense, when anyof them, or anyone else, can easily make his golf ball move at 200 mph if hecan just find someplace to drop the ball where it can fall for 9.1 seconds.But then, I am not the golfer in the family.
