The way to perform the experiment is illustrated below.

<h3>How to perform the experiment?</h3>

Place each straw tightly without deforming the roundness of the straw into the corner of the set square.

Measure the distance from the corner of the set square to where the straw touches the set square using the 30 cm ruler. This will be the radius of each straw.

Multiply this radius by 2 in order to obtain the diameter of each straw.

Sum the diameter of each of the 10 straws.

Divide this sum by 10 to obtain the average value for the diameter of a straw.

A 12-kg hammer strikes a nail at a velocity of 8.5 m/s and comes to rest in a time interval of 8.0 ms. (A) What is the impulse g
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

102 kg.m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of hammer = 12 kg

v = Final velocity = 8.5 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

t = Time taken = 8 ms

Force acting over a given amount of time or change in momentum is known as impulse.

Impulse

J=Ft\\\Rightarrow J=p_2-p_1\\\Rightarrow J=m(v-u)\\\Rightarrow J=12(8.5-0)\\\Rightarrow J=102\kg.m/s

Impulse given to the nail is 102 kg.m/s

What is mass times acceleration?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Force

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.

Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/s^{2}.

When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.

i.e     F = m × a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.
