Friction
a screw possesses both rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy while a nail possesses only translational kinetic energy as it moves through the piece of wood hence the screw moves faster since its motion is backed by more energy than the nail.
The magnitude of the force determines how deep the nail will be driven into the wood. A greater force will drive the nail deeper. The direction of the force should be aligned with the nail to ensure efficient driving, and the point of application should be concentrated on the nail head to prevent it from bending.
How much force is needed to push a screw/nail into the wood is a function of the size of the surface area of the part of the screw/nail that you are trying to put in. This idea is described in the pressure function which says P=F/A The wood has a certain resistivity to deform but with enough Force (applied with a hammer/screwdriver) over a small enough Area (the bottom of the screw/nail) the Pressure will be enough to drive it through. your mom
A screw is a simple machine that uses a helical ridge to convert rotational motion into linear motion. When the screw is turned, it moves along its thread, allowing it to hold materials together or lift objects. The pitch of the thread determines the distance the screw will advance with each rotation.
When a nail is hammered into wood, the force creates friction between the nail and the wood, generating heat due to the resistance. This heat is also caused by the energy from the impact and the compression of the wood fibers around the nail.
A screw holds wood together better than a nail because the threading of a screw provides a horizontal grip on the wood. Nails are driven down into wood and have nothing but the pressure of the wood to keep them attached, which means it is easier to pull a nail straight out of a board than a screw.

Screws are a more secure fastening than nails because the only barrier to removing a nail is the friction of the sides of the nail against the wood, so it can be pulled loose by a simple torsion force. A screw, however, has threads, so a torsion force cannot remove a screw without destroying part of the wood in the process.
A screw has an irregular shape, and has more to stop it from falling out. Also, A screw has an advantage because it's drilled in and the spirals makes it stick in faster and doesn't take long as a nail to hammer it.So, it takes a few seconds to screw the screw in.
no. to insert a nail into say... a piece of wood, youd use a hammmer. to insert a screw into a piece of wood, youd a screwdriver, wrench, etc.
It is not a good practice, but people do it. Some will tap a screw with a hammer to start a hole. Others will drive it all the way in. That is bad for the screw and the wood.Hammering a screw is counter-productive and will not have good results:When you hammer a nail into wood, the sides of the nail compress the wood. The compressed wood wants to expand pressing on the sides of the nail. The pressure keeps the nail in place preventing it from coming out of the wood.When you hammer a screw into wood, the threads of the screw "chew out" the wood pressing it downward, possibly compressing it in a downward direction, leaving little or no wood to hold the screw in place The compressed wood, wanting to expand may tend to expand upwards pushing the screw out.
don't know what you mean by step by step process, but I can say with confidence that a screw will almost always hold better.
The thread pattern of the screw anchors it in the wood. You not only have to pull against frictio, but also against the natural strength of the fibre and wood itself.
To effectively remove a broken screw from wood, you can try using a screw extractor tool or drilling a small hole into the screw and using a screwdriver to turn it out. Another method is to use a hammer and a nail punch to tap the screw out from the wood.

The direction of the force should be aligned with the nail to ensure efficient driving, and the point of application should be concentrated on the nail head to prevent it from bending.
Because... When you hit the head of the nail, the force you exert is concentrated right at the point - forcing it into the wood.
