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

    A) 6Ns

    B) 3Ns

    C) 2Ns

    D) 12 Ns

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] As we know,\[\left| impulse \right|\] \[=\left| change\text{ }in\text{ }momentum \right|\] \[=|{{p}_{2}}-{{p}_{1}}|=|0-m{{v}_{1}}|=|0-3\times 2|=6Ns\]
