The nail becomes warm because excess energy has nowhere to go, and is converted to thermal energy. Part of the energy is used up in driving through the plank, part is used in making a sound, part is used in recoiling back at the hammer, which also gets warm, and part is lost to kinetic energy transferred to thermal energy.
