Why is it easier to insert a screw into wood than to insert a nail?

A screw holds wood together better than a nail because the threading of a screw provides a horizontal grip on the wood. Nails are driven down into wood and have nothing but the pressure of the wood to keep them attached, which means it is easier to pull a nail straight out of a board than a screw.

What will hold two boards together better - a nail or a screw?
A screw holds wood together better than any nail because it resists being pulled out much better. A screw is also easier to remove without damage. However, screws are more expensive to make and take longer to put in, so nails are still used in a lot of timber work.

Does a screw work better on a board than a nail?
In general, screws are stronger than nails of similar size. In other words, it is much easier to pull out a nail than a screw. Not all carpentry jobs require that degree of strength, however, so sometimes it is perfectly appropriate to use nails. I would have to know what you are building, to say if you should be using screws or nails. Nails, of course, are easier to install, and also less expensive, so for some jobs that are better.

Why does a Screw takes less forces to move into wood than a nail?
a screw possesses both rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy while a nail possesses only translational kinetic energy as it moves through the piece of wood hence the screw moves faster since its motion is backed by more energy than the nail.
