How does a hammer use to pull a nail from a board change the direction of the force?

The hammer is acting as a lever. The force exerted against the fulcrum (the head of the hammer) causes the claw end to lift and extract the nail.

Which kind of newtons law of motion is demonstrated by a hammer pounding a nail into a board?
Pounding a nail into a board with a hammer in terms of matter energy and force is best described by inertia force.
A change in speed or direction?
A change in speed or direction is caused by a force and is called acceleration.
An unbalanced force can cause an object to change its speed and or?
The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.
Does a first class lever change the direction of the force?
yes it changes the direction, and increases the force
What is a force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction?
A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.
How does a hammer used to pull a nail from the board change the direction of the force?
It is a lever.
When you use a hammer to drive a nail into a piece of wood are you changing the size or the direction of the force?
change the direction of force,because it exerted the force on it.
How is a change in an object's direction related to the applied force?
In order to change direction, the applied force (represented as a Vector) must change DIRECTION. A change in magnitude of the Force is not necessary.
What does a pulley do to the direction of a force?
Pulleys change the direction of a force.
What is needed to change the direction of a moving mass?
The answer is force because Force is needed to change the direction of a moving mass.
What changes the direction of a force?
Force changes either the speed or the direction of motion, or both.
Does a wedge change the direction of the force?
when it changes its direction
Which kind of newtons law of motion is demonstrated by a hammer pounding a nail into a board?

Does a pulley change the direction over which you exert your force?
No it does notIt may change direction but obviosly it cannot exert you force
Can force change the direction of a body?
Strictly you should ask whether a force can change the direction a body is moving in. The answer is yes.
Why might someone want to change the direction of a force they apply?
If the work that they want to do is not being accomplished, they may want to change the direction of force. They may also want to change the direction of force due to space constraints.
What must be applied to an object to change its direction?
Forces cause motion or the change in motion.
