You can indeed nail a board in space. This act is incredibly difficult due to the lack of gravity though.
sometimes it is hard to nail wood when you are nailing to a board at the center of a long mid-space area where there is no under support --the board will bounce instead of holding solidly and many cases most likely bending the nail before the nail penetrates the wood. Today many smart carpenters are using the neumatic Air Compressed Nailers.
When nailing a nail in to a board, one needs to ensure that they are hitting the nail hard enough to go in to the board, but not too hard as the nail will bend. One will quickly learn just how hard to hit a nail.
The hammer pounding a nail into a board demonstrates Newton's third law of motion. The action force is the hammer striking the nail, and the reaction force is the nail pushing back against the hammer. This interaction causes the nail to be driven into the board.
yes it is because your not changing the substance :)
When you hit a nail with a hammer, kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy, causing the nail to impact and penetrate the board. This conversion also produces heat due to friction between the nail and the board, increasing the thermal energy of the nail head.
The First!
When you hit a nail into a board with a hammer, the kinetic energy from the force of the impact is converted into thermal energy due to the friction between the nail and the board. This friction causes the molecules in both the nail and the board to vibrate, generating heat energy.
Gravity helps keep a nail in place
The input force is the force applied by the person using the hammer to pull the nail. The output force is the force exerted by the hammer on the nail to pull it out of the board. The output distance is the distance the nail moves as it is being pulled out of the board.
It is a lever.
tack!
Board is a piece of wood cut evenly into planks of varying sizes.The man hammered a nail into the board.
