It is malleable so it would bend or dent.
a very metalic sound comes from the two things which are hit! a kind of 'clink!'
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather on the earth and on the moon? The above experiment is supposed to prove the equivalence principle which states that the acceleration an object feels due to gravity does not depend on its mass, density, composition, colour or shape.Answer:If you drop a hammer and a feather from the same height on earth, the hammer will hit the ground first as the feather is slowed down drastically by air resistance.But on the moon, because it is a vacuum, and since the acceleration of an object is the same as the gravity i.e. a = g and the mass is not in the equation, all objects will have the same acceleration and hence the hammer should fall to the surface of moon at the same time as the feather but:"Both will hit the moon at the same time as believed by most scientists?"This may not be absolutely true since every object has its own gravity which is greater if its mass is greater. So the hammer has a gravity much greater than that of the feather. Therefore the combined gravity of the hammer and that of the moon (which pulls the hammer and moon towards each other) is greater than that of the feather and the moon.As such the hammer should collide with the moon marginally earlier than that between the feather and the moon, though this difference is so minute that we assume that the collisions occur simultaneously.However, if the hammer and feather are dropped together, then as the hammer's gravity pulls the moon towards itself, it also pull the moon towards the feather and as such the lucky feather may get a free ride and hits the moon at the same time as the hammer.To be fair, the experiment should be done dropping the objects individually e.g. feather first, then the hammer and then see whether the times taken are the same or not.All the above are valid only on the assumption that the centre of gravity is the part that hits the moon but since this is not necessarily true, we also have to take into account which part of the hammer or feather is nearest to the moon before the two objects were released (assuming that the centre of gravity of both objects are at the same level on release) !The real answer is that there is not enough data for us to know which will hit the moon first !The famous experiment by Astronaut Dave Scott on the moon is not very precise.Dr HW Looi
Without air resistance, hailstones would fall faster and potentially reach higher speeds due to the absence of drag slowing them down. They would hit the ground with more force compared to in a situation with air resistance.
The core of the earth is made of Nickel/Iron and it is very hot. If you could see it it would be glowing white hot like Iron in a blast furnace, you would not be able to see its colour in reflected light. However, we do know what colour it would be when cooled because some meteorites that hit the earth are pieces of the core of planet like bodies (with Nickel/Iron cores). These formed and were then broken apart by collisions during the formation of the solar system. These Nickel/Iron meteorites are silvery grey in colour when cut open to show a fresh surface. (see related link below).
If a nuclear weapon were to hit Earth's core, it would likely cause catastrophic damage, potentially leading to widespread earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. The explosion would disrupt the delicate balance of forces that keeps the core stable, with devastating consequences for the planet's geological processes and possibly triggering a mass extinction event.
If you were to hit iodine with a hammer, it would most likely shatter into small pieces or powder. Iodine is a brittle solid, and its crystal structure would break upon impact from the hammer.
If you hit solid ice with a hammer, it may shatter into smaller pieces. Liquid water would disperse under the force of the impact. Steam, as a gas, would not be affected by a hammer.
It may ignite if you hit the primer.
If you hit the nail with the hammer, it will drive into the wood, securing the two pieces together. The force from the hammer will cause the nail to penetrate the wood, creating a strong connection between them.
No the golf ball was designed to be hit hard. Why would a hammer produce a result different than being hit by a golf club?
The electrons will fall out of line, demagnetizing the nail.
They would both float if you had no gravity.
If a porcelain mug is hit by a hammer, it will likely shatter into multiple pieces due to the force of impact. Porcelain is a brittle material and is not very resilient to sudden impacts, so it is highly susceptible to breaking when struck with a hammer.
No.
It Hit Me Like a Hammer was created in 1991.
A copper rod will deform and flatten out when struck with a hammer due to its malleability. The force of the hammer will cause the copper atoms to shift and slide past each other, resulting in a change in shape.
I sometimes go to sleep. On the other hand, I may decide to hit something with a hammer.
