Answer:
Explanation:
Impulse results in a change of momentum
FΔt = mΔV
F = mΔV/Δt
The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail
If we assume upward is the positive direction
F = m(vf - vi)/t
F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001
F = 3000 N
The answer they are looking for is the last one. However the last two are technically correct but the third one would result in negative work.
0.4823 m/s
The initial velocity u1 of the ball=0
From the law of conservation of linear momentum.
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
(160×0)+(170×u1)=(160×0.3)+(170×0.2)
u1=0.4823m/s
