- A 0.350 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.50 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 1.00 cm into a board. Assume constant acceleration of the hammer-nail pair. (a) Calculate the duration of the impact (in s). 0.036 (b) What was the average force (in N) exerted on the nail? (Enter the magnitude.) 52.9375 X Narrow_forwardThe 25-Mg boxcar A 16m/s to the right is coasting on the horizontal track when it encounters a 9-Mg car B coasting at 2m/s toward it. If the two cars meet and couple together, determin common speed in m/s just after the coupling. Please see details below. Rounding numbers to 2 decimal places at the end.arrow_forwardA hammer of mass m = 0.465 kg is moving horizontally at a velocity of v = 5.5 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail a distance Δx = 1.15 cm into a board. a)What is the duration of the impact, in seconds, assuming the acceleration of the hammer was constant? b)What was the average force, in newtons, exerted on the nail?arrow_forward
- A hammer with mass m = 0.456 kg moves horizontally at a velocity of v = 6.5 m/s when it hits a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail a distance of 0.85 cm into the board. What is the duration of the impact in seconds assuming the acceleration of the hammer was constant? What is the average force in newtons exerted on the nail?arrow_forwardYour forehead can withstand a force of about 6.0 kN before fracturing, while your cheekbone can only withstand about 1.3 kN. If a 140g baseball strikes your head at 30 m/s and stops in 0.0015 seconds, what is the magnitude of the balls deceleration? Express your answer in meters per second squaredarrow_forwardAn unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 7.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after compressing the padding and his body 0.350 m. (a) What is his acceleration? (b) How long does the collision last?arrow_forward
- A 500 g rock that is initially at rest was dropped from the roof of a 80 m building. Ignoring air resistance, (a) how long will the rock reach the ground? (b) What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it reaches the ground? (c) Sketch a – t, v – t and y – t graphs for the motion of the rock.arrow_forwardA "happy ball" was dropped from an initial height of 1m as it bounced back up to a maximum height of .58 meters. When a "sad ball" was dropped from an initial height of 1m, the ball didnt bounce. Both balls have a mass of 9.5 grams. Can you please help me calculate the velocity of the "happy ball" just before and after hitting the ground using kinematics equations? Thank you in advance.arrow_forwardA steel ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.45 m. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 0.0800 ms (8.00 × 10−5 s) (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?arrow_forward
- 1) Find the time of flight of the projectile. A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. 2) A pingpong ball was thrown vertically upward and returned to the hand after 2.0 s. What is the time taken by the ball to reach its maximum height? 3) Two blocks of masses m1 = 7.2 kg and m2 = 10.1 kg resting on a frictionless surface are connected by a light inextensible cord. A horizontal force of 50.0 N directed to the right is applied to the block with m1 . Find the acceleration of the masses. 4) In a cheerleading competition, a 65.0 kg cheerleader is tossed vertically upward with a speed of 3.75 m/s. What is her momentum just after being caught, assuming that she was caught at the same height she was tossed?arrow_forward1. A 0.5628-kg hammer is moving horizontally at 6.676 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 3.604 cm into a board. A small cartoon might be helpful. (a) Calculate the duration of the impact. Hint: Assume that the force of the hammer and, therefore, the acceleration of the nail is constant. You may use the equations or motion of an object, in this case the hammer, with constant acceleration. What quantities are known? Which equation is suitable to solve for the time it takes the nail to drive into the board. At= S (b) What was the average force exerted on the nail?
