When a hammer strikes a nail, it is compressed along its length. Suppose that a steel nail 10.00 cm long and 3.00 mm in diameter is compressed an average of 65.0 µm by a 0.415 kg hammer during a 1.20 ms collision.
Q1. What is the average force exerted on the nail by the hammer?
Q2. What is the impulse imparted to the hammer
Q3. What is the Vf if Vο is 7m/s?
