How does gravity make it easier to hammer a nail?

Gravity helps to increase the force with which the hammer strikes the nail, making it easier to drive the nail into the surface. Gravity pulls the hammer downward, increasing its velocity and impact force, which helps to overcome the resistance of the nail and drive it into the material.


How does the claw of a hammer affect the force applied to make removing the nail easier?

The claw of a hammer works by multiplying the force exerted on it. As you apply force to the handle to pull out the nail, the design of the claw allows that force to be concentrated at the point where it grips the nail. This concentrated force makes it easier to leverage the nail out of the surface.


A hammer being used to pull out a nail is an example of what type of machine?

A hammer being used to pull out a nail is an example of a lever. In this case, the hammer acts as a beam with the nail as the load and the point where the hammer pivots (the fulcrum) being the point where the claw of the hammer contacts the wood. This simple machine allows the user to exert a greater force on the nail, making it easier to remove.

When you hit a nail with a hammer, the force is applied at the point of contact between the hammer and the nail. This force drives the nail into the surface it is being hammered into.


When a hammer hits a nail how does the force on the nail compare to the force on the hammer?

The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.
