A young woman is renovating her kitchen. It is her first day working on it so it is time for demolition! She has been using a sledgehammer for a few hours now to destroy her cabinets. Her countertop is next. She's a little bored now so she grabbed a can of Sprite and set it on the counter. She swings her hammer with all her might to crush the can. How does the force the hammer exerted on the can compare to the force the can exerted on the hammer as the can was getting crushed?
An arrow with a mass of 250 g has a speed of 27 m/s before it passes through a 1.5 cm piece of plywood,

A high-speed photograph of a club hitting a golf ball is shown in the figure below.
The club was in contact with a ball, initially at rest, for about 0.0024 s. If the ball has a mass of 55 g and leaves the head of the club with a speed of 1.9 x 102 ft/s, find the average force (in kN) exerted on the ball by the club.
