The impulse is the change in momentum. The hammer initially has a linear momentum of 12kg 8.5 m/s = 102 Nsec. Its final speed is 0 m/s, so its final momentum is 0 Nsec. The change in momentum = impulse = 102 Ns.The average force accompanying a change in momentum is given by the impulse divided by the time over which the impulse is delivered. In this case, F = 102 N*sec/0.008 sec = 12750 N.... Show More
