When you hit a hammer on the head of a nail, all the momentum associated with hammer is transferred into nail. And due to this, the surface of nail gets deformed or if you touch it you can feel the rise in temperature. When you hit a hammer on nail, hammer exerts force on nail and by Newton's 3rd law, nail will also exert a force on the hammer perpendicular to the surface of the hammer of same magnitude but its direction will be reversed. Thus, only 2 forces acts in this interaction and they are action-reaction pairs.

Why is it important for a scientist to be open-minded but skeptical?
insens350 [35]
It’s important for a scientist to be open-minded because they need to be able to understand or creative anything that was never thought about. It’s also important for a scientist to be skeptical because some ideas or products that they hear about can have false factors. I hope this helped!

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE
