Question

A hammer weighing $$3\,kg$$  strikes the head of a nail with a speed of $$2\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$  drives it by $$1\,cm$$  into the wall. The impulse imparted to the wall is

A. $$6Ns$$  
B. $$3Ns$$
C. $$2Ns$$
D. $$12Ns$$
Answer :   $$6Ns$$
Solution :
As we know, $$\left| {{\text{impulse}}} \right| = \left| {{\text{change}}\,{\text{in}}\,{\text{momentum}}} \right|$$
$$ = \left| {{p_2} - {p_1}} \right| = \left| {0 - m{v_1}} \right| = \left| {0 - 3 \times 2} \right| = 6Ns$$
