Question

Imagine there are four hammers to throw: 16,12,10 and 8 pounds you can pick any hammer to win the contest which would be the best choice if you want to throw the hammer the farthest you can?

Answer 1

8lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The 8lb hammer would the choice hammer to attain the farthest throw in the contest.

This is because, the force applied on all the hammer that would be thrown is the same.

• The lesser the mass of an object, if the force is constant, the farther the distance it will cover.
• A hammer with more mass will require more force to cover an equal distance as the one with a lesser mass.
• Therefore, the hammer with the least mass will cover the greatest distance from the choices given.
