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
