Question

When I started studying the Physics of forces, I had this one intuitive reason to study it, which was that after studying I would be able to answer some basic questions like how much force does something apply but having come this far in my journey, I still can not answer a question as simple as, how much force does a body of mass 1 kg moving at 1 m/s exert on hitting a wall? What? Force = mass × acceleration? 1 × 0? 0 Newton?​

Answer 1

chill nothing new in that

just take a good book with example's and analyze them

Answer 2

Answer:

If that object is released from rest then it sure has accelerated and it exerts a force. And even if it is not released from rest and has a uniform velocity of 1 m/s it may either bounce back(elastic collision) or it will stop and stick to that point (inelastic collision). Basically, there surely will be some change in velocity of that object (direction of motion) that is acceleration and hence force is exerted. But it's just that the force is not enough to move the wall but some changes may occur at the area of impact due to that force.

I hope it helps..
