Is there an error in the answer for Impulse Momentum Linear Homework?

In summary, the conversation was about solving a physics problem involving calculating the resistive force acting on a hammer and pile system. The participants discussed the use of a net force equation and the forces involved in the system, including gravity and the resistive force from the ground. They also discussed the concept of setting the sum of the individual forces equal to the net force to solve for the resistive force.

:cry:I got confused with this question part a (i). I know how to solve this question, I tried to used the same method and got the answer. But when I tried it on the previous hammer question with the working of:

M1=mv
=(9000)(8.82)
=79380

M2=mv
=0

I1-2=Force x Time
=(F)(0.1)
=0.1F

M1+I1-2=M2

79380-0.1F=0
79380=0.1F
F=793800 Ans Wrong

Because you said this is the net force and plus the rest of the explanation totally make me lost in space:cry::cry: This 3 marks is so damn hard
Once again: F is the net force, but they ask for the resistive force. So use the net force to solve for the resistive force. (Review post #28)

Post #35 Question 7ai working:

M1=mv
=1000x19.44
=19444.44

M2=mv
=1000x16.67
=16666.67

T1-2= F x T
=-Fx4
=-4F

M1+I1-2=M2
19444.44-4F=16666.67
-4F=-2777.77
F=694.4N Answer

So this 694.4N is the net force, and there is another resistive force?

I tried to apply this style of working on the hammer question, but you told me that is the net force and ask me to find the other resistive force

I got confused here with this part and the hammer question, I hope you know what i meant...

In this case, the net force is the 'net resistive force', so that's your answer.

In the hammer question you had two individual forces acting: gravity and the resistive force of the ground.

In the car question they just want the net resistive force (gravity doesn't enter into it, since he's on level ground).

Ok can, understood. Thanks for the explanation again at least I have a clearer picture now, Sorry for being too slow :-p Tomorrow is my finals, wish me all the best!o:)
