Answer:

625 N

Explanation:

The impulse given to the nail is equal to the change in momentum of the hammer:

I=F \Delta t=m \Delta v

where

F is the force exerted by the hammer

\Delta t=0.08 s is the time of contact

m=2.5 kg is the mass

\Delta v=20 m/s is the change in velocity of the hammer

Substituting the data and re-arranging the equation, we can find the force:

F=\frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(2.5 kg)(20 m/s)}{0.08 s}=625 N

Equations of the vertical launch:

Vf = Vo - gt

y = yo + Vo*t - gt^2 / 2

Here yo = 35.0m
Vo is unknown
y final = 0
t = 4.00 s
and I will approximate g to 10m/s^2

=> 0 = 35.0 + Vo * 4 - 5 * (4.00)^2 => Vo = [-35 + 5*16] / 4 = - 45 / 4 = -11.25 m/s

The negative sign is due to the fact that the initial velocity is upwards and we assumed that the direction downwards was positive when used g = 10m/s^2.

Answer: 11.25 m/s

How does the law of conservation of energy relate to the system shown in this model
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. Another way of stating this law of chemistry is to say the total energy of an isolated system.
