The hammer is acting as a lever. The force exerted against the fulcrum (the head of the hammer) causes the claw end to lift and extract the nail.
A nail has a smooth straight shaft and a flat head that requires a hammer to pound the nail in. A screw has rivets on the shaft and the head has a shape to it so a screwdriver is needed to screw in the screw.
The kinetic energy transfers from the hammer to the nail. The molecules inside the nail move rapidly and create heat.
The claw hammer can not only hammer a nail into wood but can , by way of the claw , grasp the head of the nail and be used to pry/leverage the nail from wood .
