A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex

erted on the nail?​
Physics

Delvig [45]2 years ago

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 kinetic energy of an object depends on what?
liraira [26]
It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.

Which scenario involves kinetic energy transforming into potential energy? A. a book lying on a shelf B. a train traveling at a
NeX [460]
The answer is C.

The Kinetic energy which was exerted and experience pulling the string of a bow is kept as a potential energy at the end of the arrow in contact with the string. Once release from aim at stationary position the potential energy is again transformed.

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Yes, when an apple falls towards the earth, the apple gets accelerated and comes down due to the gravitational force of attraction used by the earth. The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but the earth does not move because the mass of the apple is very small, due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a = F/m) but the mass of the earth is very large, the same gravitational force produces very small acceleration in the earth and we don't see the earth rising towards the apple.
