Question

Suppose you hit a steel nail with a 0.500-kg hammer, initially moving at 15.0 m/s and brought to rest in 2.80 mm. (a) What average force is exerted on the nail? (b) How much is the nail compressed if it is 2.50 mm in diameter and 6.00-cm long? (c) What pressure is created on the 1.00-mm-diameter tip of the nail?

Step 1

Given: - Mass of the hammer, m = 0.500 kg - Initial velocity of the hammer, v = 15.0 m/s - Distance the nail is brought to rest, d = 2.80 mm = 2.80 x 10^-3 m Using the work-energy principle, the work done on the nail is equal to the change in kinetic energy: Work Show more…
