yes indeed
The reaction force when a hammer hits a nail is called the law of motion. This motion falls under Newton's Third Law.
If a nail is not hit square on the top by the hammer it will bend and there is a likelihood that the wood will be damaged by hammer marks or the bent nail.
when you raise the hammer at the top of your upswing the hammer has potential energy when you lower the hammer to hit a nail , the hammer has potential energy.
You hit it with a hammer
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.
If you hit a nail with a hammer.
The electrons will fall out of line, demagnetizing the nail.
its called friction when you hit it with the hammer the two surfaces rub together aka the hammer head and the nail head
Because you hit it with a hammer.
A nail made of simple pure iron (cast) would quite possibly shatter when hit with a hammer. That is why nails are made of steel and other "flexible" and softer metals.
The kinetic energy transfers from the hammer to the nail. The molecules inside the nail move rapidly and create heat.
You hit the nail squarely on the head, driving it in, then unless it's a really big nail, 3-4 more careful hits will seat it.
