A hammer of mass m = 0.46 kg is moving horizontally at a velocity of v = 6.5 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail a distance Δx = 1.1 cm into a board.

What is the duration of the impact, assuming the acceleration is constant during this time period, in terms of the given variables? It is not accepting numerical values

What was the average force exerted on the nail, in terms of the mass, initial velocity, and distance traveled?

What was the average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail?

Sagot :

The impact will last for 3.3 milliseconds, the average force applied to the nail will be [m (v² - u²)]/2s, and the average force applied to the nail will be 883.2 N, respectively.

What is force?

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Average force,F = ?

Mass,m = 0.46 kg

Acceleration,a

Final velocity,v = 0 m/sec

Initial velocity,u = 6.5 m/sec

The duration of the impact, assuming the acceleration is constant is found with the help of Newton's third equation of motion as;

v²=u²+2as

0  = (6.5)² + 2 ×a × 1.1 × 10⁻²

- 42.25 = 2 × a × 1.1 × 10⁻²

a = - 1920 m/s²

a = (v-u)/t

-1920 = (0-6.5)/t

t = 3 × 10⁻³ sec

t = 3.3 milli second

From Newton's third equation of motion;

v² = u² +2as

a = (v² - u² ) /2s

The average force exerted on the nail, in terms of the mass, initial velocity, and distance traveled is;

F = ma

F = [m (v² - u² )] /2s

The average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail is;

F = [m (v² - u² )] /2s

F= ma

Substitute the given value;

F = 0.469 × 1920

F = 883.2 N

Hence the duration of the impact, the average force exerted on the nail and the average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail will be 3.3 milliseconds, F = [m (v² - u² )] /2s and 883.2 N respectively.
