Skills for analyzing processes using the work-energy principle

Hit by a hailstone A 0.040-kg hailstone the size of a golf ball (4.3 cm in diameter) is falling at about 16 m/s when it reaches Earth’s surface. Estimate the force that the hailstone exerts on your head—a head-on collision. Indicate any assumptions used in your estimate. Note that the cheekbone will break if something exerts a 900-N or larger force on the bone for more than 6 ms. Is this hailstone likely to break a bone?
