A worker drives .5 kg spike into a rail tie with 2.50 kg hammer. Hits spike with 65 m/s. 1/3 kinetic energy converted to internal energy. Find increase in total internal energy.
The problem I have having with this problem is that I don't know how to deal with the masses. I know PEi + KEi + Ui = PEf + KEf + Uf. I am having trouble reasoning which ones equal zero.
I'm grateful for any help.
