al ball attached to a wire and handle. The name hammer throw comes from an older contest where men threw a sledge hammer. The hammer have different weights, ranging from 16 pounds down to 8 pounds. Imagine there are four hammers to throw: 16, 12, 10, and 8 pounds. If you throw each hammer with the same amount of force, which hammer will move the shortest distance?

Answer : The hammer having mass of 16 pounds will move the shortest distance.

Explanation :

According to Newton's second law :

F = m a

Where

m is the mass of an object

a is the acceleration produced

Also,

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

And

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

d is the distance traveled by an object.

Force becomes :

F=\dfrac{m\ d}{t^2}

or

d=\dfrac{F\ t^2}{m}

Distance covered is inversely proportional to the mass of hammers.

So, the hammer having maximum mass will move the shortest distance.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " 16 pounds ".

the 16 pound hammer will move the shortest because It weighs the most and the others are weigh less
