Do objects fall at the same rate on a planet with no atmosphere?

No, because there is no air to slow the down. For deeper analysis, check youtube, hammer and feather experiment on the moon. They hit the ground at the same time on the moon because there is no atmosphere, but if you drop a hammer and a feather on earth the hammer, obviously, hits first.

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.

Would it be better to take a screwdriver or a hammer in a fight to the death?

A screwdriver would be the better choice. While you are lifting your arms to swim an hammer, you are leaving your vital organs unprotected. If you have a screwdriver, you can keep your arms down keeping the organs protected. Size up your opponent. When he goes to swing his hammer, lunge in with a quick jabbing motion poking holes in his vital organs. Mission accomlished!
