Nothing is likely to be vibrating before the nail is hit. Afterwards, probably everything is vibrating - the nail, the hammer, and whatever the nail is stuck in.

How does a hammer fix nail in wood?

The scientific definition of impact is force divided by time. So, you exert force on a hammer when you swing it, over a certain period of time, and that force is then delivered to the nail in a much shorter period of time, hence the impact is magnified. The nail is thus driven into the wood When hammer strikes a nail the kinetic energy of the hammer is transferred into the nail as soon as it hits the nail. This kinetic energy acts as the driving force for the nail which is forced down into the soft wood. The penetration occurs as the pointed end of the nail easily pierces between the fibers of the wood. The stronger the hammer strike is, the farther the nail goes in due to increased energy transfer. If the surface is very hard, the third law of newton works much effectively, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and hence the nail and hammer will only bounce back. But the fibers of the wood gives ample space for the pointed tip of the nail to penetrate inside and stay fixed.A hammer hence acts to provide force to the nail.

When you hit a nail with a hammer there is a force where?

When you hit a nail with a hammer, the force is applied at the point of contact between the hammer and the nail. This force drives the nail into the surface it is being hammered into.


When a hammer hits a nail how does the force on the nail compare to the force on the hammer?

The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.
