Eah tih adiameter af 82.5 cm and aheight of 115cm Determine how

Explanation / Answer

a] The hammer's speed initially is: u = 0 m/s

v = 6.63 m/s

acceleration = g

use, v2 = u2 + 2gH

H = 6.632/(2g) = 2.243 m

this is how high the hammer was.

b] if H' = 2H = 4.485 m

v = [2gH']1/2 = 9.376 m/s

this is how fast the hammer would be at the bottom if it was dropped from twice the initial height.
