Question

b. mrs. gordon hits a nail at an acceleration of 5 m/s/s with a hammer weighing 5 kg. how much force did mrs. gordon apply?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Force formula \(F = ma\)

Step2: Substitute values

Given \(m = 5\space kg\), \(a=5\space m/s^{2}\). Then \(F=(5\space kg)\times(5\space m/s^{2})\)

Step3: Calculate

\(F = 25\space N\)

Answer:

25 N
