Why a nail is made with pointed tip?
So when you go to hammer it in the wood it goes in properly, if it had a blunt end it wouldn't ease in as well. Hope this helps :)
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.
Why does a sharp pointed exert larger pressure than a blunt end?
The larger pointed exert larger pressure than ablunt end because the sharp end takes small than the blunt end.
When a hammer strikes and exerts force on the nail what does the nail do?
It depends on what is at the other end of the nail and how hard or soft it is. An impact on the nail can result in the following: 1. The head (impact point on the nail) will compress to some degree heat up somewhat. 2. The rest of the nail can compress, thicken and warm up. 3. The rest of the nail may bend. 4. If the object at the other end of the nail is hard enough, it will crack, split, or break. 5. If the object at the other end of the nail is soft enough, the nail will puncture it and enter into the object, and generate some heat as a result of friction.
Why are nails made very sharp at one end thicker than the other end?
because one end is pointed so the way it goes through the wood and the other end is flat because that way the hammer can hit it too go into the wood or what ever else your putting it into that is why the nails are madevery sharp at one end thicker than the other end other end
Nails have pointed end why?
The ends of nails always made pointed because it help the nail to enter an object easy and faster.
The pointed lower end of the heart is known as what?
Apex
Why is a nail pointed at the end?
The point is a "wedge" that separates the wood fibers as the nail enters, making it easier to drive into the wood without tearing the wood as a flat tipped nail would.

Why iron nail pierces the wooden plank easier with its pointed end?
a nail is sharp because the sharper the nail is, the thinner the tip is, which in turn can more easily get in between the molecules of the wood, so you can then push/smash your way into the wood, and as the width of the nail gets wider, it pushes apart the molecules, in turn, clearing the path for the nail to get through. PS. this is just common sense.

How far can you cut of a pit bulls toe nail?
If you cannot have a groomer clip your dogs nails and need to do it yourself, just take the very pointed tip off to make a blunt end.
Of what material are finger nails made?
Keratin - the same substance that makes up hair.Anatomically fingernails and toenails, which are made of a tough protein called keratin and are produced from living skin cells in the fingers and toes, are made up of many different parts: * The free edge is the part of the nail that extends past the finger, beyond the nail plate. There are no nerve endings in the nail - this is the growing part of the nail still under the skin at the nail's proximal end. * eponychium or cuticle, is the fold of skin at the proximal end of the nail. * paronychium is the fold of skin on the sides of the nail. * hyponychium is the attachment between the skin of the finger or toe and the distal end of the nail. * nail plate is the hard and translucent portion, composed of keratin. * nail bed is the adherent connective tissue that underlies the nail, often colloquially referred to as the "quick." * lunula is the crescent shaped whitish area of the nail bed (when visible) * nail fold a fold of hard skin overlapping the base and sides of a fingernail or toenail. In common usage the word nail usually refers to the nail plate only
What does one need to look for in a nail file for a baby?
For a baby nail file, look for a small size and for a smoother surface than a regular file. There is a package that can be found at Target for around $20 that contains some of them. Make sure they do not have a pointed tip at the end as this could be harmful for the baby.
