It then moves upward on the familiar curving path of projectile motion. In one throw, the hammer is given a speed of 29 m/s. For comparison, a .22 caliber bullet has a mass of 2.6 g and, starting from rest, exits the barrel of a gun at a speed of 410 m/s. Determine the work done to launch the motion of
