Consider the nail-firing device of Example 4.15. When the device works, the nail is fired with velocity, V, with density
The device misfires 2% of the time it is used, resulting in a velocity of 0. Find the expected kinetic energy associated with a nail of mass m. Recall that the kinetic energy, k, of a mass m moving at velocity v is k = (mv2)/2.
