Return to Newton's Laws
Description:
The inertia of the heavy concrete block absorbs the momentum of the hammer blow. The concrete breaks as it absorbs this impulse. PUT A GLOVE ON THE HAND UNDER THE BLOCK-- This will help to prevents cuts from the rough surface of the block. Don't be shy, no one has been hurt yet.
