A hammer hits a nail the action to be the impact of the hammer on the nail what is the reaction?
The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the nail exerts a force on the hammer.
How would the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth compare with the force it exerts today if the moon were moved so that it is half as far from the earth as it is today?
increases 4 times the initial force
When a hammer hits a nail how does the force on the nail compare to the force on the hammer?
The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.
Compare How does the size of the force exerted by Earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on Earth?
A gravitational force exists between every two mass objects.The force is the same on both objects.
How does the size of the force exerted by Earth's gravity on a car compare with the force the car exerts on Earth?
The magnitude of the force is exactly the same (Newton's Third Law).
How does the size of the force exerted by Earths gravity on a car compare with the force the car exerts on Earth?
The magnitude of the force is exactly the same (Newton's Third Law).
How do you calculate the amount of work a certain amount of force exerts?
Multiply the magnitude of the force component in the direction of motion by the distance through which it moves. The product is the work done by the force.

The magnitude of the force is exactly the same (Newton's Third Law).

What gravitational force exerts on an object?
Gravitational force exerts an attraction on objects.
According to newtons third law of motion when a hammer strikes and exerts force on to a nail the nail is what?
An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. When the energy from the hammer hits the nail the hammer stops because its acted on by the nail. The nail takes on most of the energy and goes into whatever you might be nailing, like wood. The nail stops and the wood takes the energy and it just keeps going until the energy stops.
Why is a hammer a shaped as it is?
The hammer is shaped as it is so as to exert the maximum amount of force at the culmination of it's swing.
