Convert the cm to meters, and multiply the force by the distance. That gives you the work in joules.

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.

Pounding a nail into a board with a hammer in terms of matter energy and force is best described by inertia force.


Is a diving board a lever?

Yes it is. A diving board is a Class 1 lever. The fulcrum is the screws that hold the diving board in place (the rigid part), the load is the person and the effort force is the force the person exerts when he/she braces herself/himself to jump.

According to newtons third law of motion when a hammer strikes and exerts force on to a nail the nail is what?

An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. When the energy from the hammer hits the nail the hammer stops because its acted on by the nail. The nail takes on most of the energy and goes into whatever you might be nailing, like wood. The nail stops and the wood takes the energy and it just keeps going until the energy stops.
