Question

A 12.0 kg hammer hits a nail at a velocity of 13.2 m/sec in 0.005 sec. What is the average force exerted on the nail? (Lesson: Impulse and Momentum) (Show the solution)Please I really need a good answer. huhu

Answer 1

31680N

Mass m=12kg

and velocity v=13.2m/s

time t=0.005sec

Force= mass×acceleration

=> m×v/t

=12×13.2/0.005

=158.4/0.005

=31680N
