Answer:
The average impact force is 12000 newtons.
Explanation:
By Impact Theorem we know that impact done by the sledge hammer on the chisel is equal to the change in the linear momentum of the former. The mathematical model that represents the situation is now described:
(1)
Where:
- Average impact force, in newtons.
- Duration of the impact, in seconds.
- Mass of the sledge hammer, in kilograms.
,
- Initial and final velocity, in meters per second.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then we estimate the average impact force is:


The average impact force is 12000 newtons.
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:
Approximately
.
Explanation:
This question suggests that the rotation of this object slows down "uniformly". Therefore, the angular acceleration of this object should be constant and smaller than zero.
This question does not provide any information about the time required for the rotation of this object to come to a stop. In linear motions with a constant acceleration, there's an SUVAT equation that does not involve time:
,
where
is the final velocity of the moving object,
is the initial velocity of the moving object,
is the (linear) acceleration of the moving object, and
is the (linear) displacement of the object while its velocity changed from
to
.
The angular analogue of that equation will be:
, where
and
are the initial and final angular velocity of the rotating object,
is the angular acceleration of the moving object, and
is the angular displacement of the object while its angular velocity changed from
to
.
For this object:
, whereas
.
The question is asking for an angular acceleration with the unit
. However, the angular displacement from the question is described with the number of revolutions. Convert that to radians:
.
Rearrange the equation
and solve for
:
.
EM stands for ElectroMagnetic.
