A claw hammer
A nail clipper is a class two lever coupled to a class three lever.
yes, you would be using a pulley which is a type of simple machine. It is a type of machine that is changing the direction over which a force is exerted.
No. A "mallet" (note spelling) is a type of hammer. A mullet is either a fish or a style of haircut.
This is an oxidation reaction.
Lever
The simple machine used for removing a nail with a hammer is a lever. The hammer acts as the effort force, while the nail acts as the load. The fulcrum point is where the hammer applies force on the nail to remove it.

the claw
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.
Tu madre
The force exerted by a hammer hitting a nail is a contact force, specifically a compressive force. This force overcomes the resistance provided by the nail and drives it into the surface.

The part of the hammer that removes nails is a lever, specifically a claw hammer. The claw hammer has a curved, forked end that acts as a lever to help pry out nails. When the hammer is pushed down against the wood, the claw helps to lift the nail up and out.
A nail is considered a type of simple machine known as a wedge. When driven into a surface, the tapering shape of the nail allows it to apply force and split materials apart.
