A sledgehammer strikes an anvil with a velocity of 50 ft/sec (Fig. 2.59). The hammer and the anvil weigh 12 lb and 100 lb, respectively. The anvil is supported on four springs, each of stiffness Find the resulting motion of the anvil (a) if the hammer remains in contact with the anvil and (b) if the hammer does not remain in contact with the anvil after the initial impact

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
