Steel is used to form both hammer and nails.
A screwdriver.
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.
A hammer is a lever because when you want to remove a nail it helps to pry it out of the place.

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.
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.

After the hammer hits the nail, its momentum is transferred to the nail causing it to move. Momentum is conserved in the system, meaning that the total momentum of the hammer and nail before and after the collision remains the same.
