A special “dead blow” hammer has a hollow head which is loosely filled with tiny spheres of lead or sand that can rattle around inside the head. If you have a standard and a “dead blow” hammer whose heads have the same mass and you swing them at the same velocity, which one will deliver higher impulse to the nail it strikes? A.
