Question

A hammer strikes a nail with a 10 N force for 0.01 seconds. Calculate the impulse of the hammer.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1Ns

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of Force and time

Impulse = Force * Time

Given

Force = 10N

Time = 0.01s

Substitute into the formula

Impulse = 10 * 0.01

Impulse = 10 * 1/100

Impulse = 10/100

Impulse = 0.1Ns

hence the impulse of the hammer is 0.1Ns
