Chapter 6, Problem 67GP
* EST A carpenter hammers a nail using a 0.80-kg hammerhead. He lifts the hammer and lets it fall down without exerting an additional force on the hammer. After the hammer hits the nail, they move together for 0.005 s until they stop. (a) Estimate the speed of the hammerhead before it hits the nail. (b) Estimate the average force that the hammerhead exerts on the nail. Indicate any assumptions that you made.

**38. A 4-kg toy jet sled is accelerated forward from rest by escaping CO2 from the jet engine
After the sled has gone 10 m, the engine shuts off, leaving the sled going 10 m/s. The coefficient
of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.2. How much force did the jet produce? How far
will the sled slide after the jet shuts off?

- In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank.
