A hammer of mass \(500\ g\), moving at \(50\ m s-1\), strikes a nail. The nail stops the hammer in a very short time of \(0.01\ s\). What is the force of the nail on the hammer?
From the Equation of motion -\(I\), We know that,
From the Newton's second law, We know that,
Acceleration of the hammer \(=\) \(m\ s^{-2}\)
Force exerted by the hammer on the nail \(=\) \(N\)
Force exerted by the nail on the hammer \(=\) \(N\)
