# Problem: A 0.450-kg hammer is moving horizontally at 7.00 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 1.00 cm into a board. Assume constant acceleration of the hammer-nail pair. a. Calculate the duration of the impact.b. What was the average force exerted on the nail?

###### FREE Expert Solution

Uniform accelerated motion (UAM) equations:

(a)

We'll solve for time using kinematics:

We have:

• Δx = 1.00 cm(1m/100cm) = 0.01 m
• v0 = 7.00 m/s
• vf = 0.00 m/s
