A 12 kg hammer strikes a nail at a velocity of 8.2 m/s and comes to rest in a time interval of 0.0083 s.

1. What is the impulse given to the nail?

2. What is the average force acting on the nail?

3 answers

Impulse= force*time= mass*changevelocity
Rtfg
98.4 N s

Impulse = Force * Time
= Mass * Change in Velocity
= 12 * 8.2
= 98.4 N s
