I'm assuming you mean nails that you hammer in, not fingernails. They're thin on one end so that they are hammered in more easily, because when you apply force to an object and the object has a small surface area (such as the end of a nail) that force is exerted on a tiny area, thus goes in more than if you applied the same pressure on a larger surface area, for the force would just 'spread out' equally. And further it's thicker because then there's more grip, it's stronger etc.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if you put a magnet in a drawer full of nails and the magnet doesn't pick any of the nails?
If the magnet does not pick up any of the nails in the drawer, it could be due to a weak magnetic field of the magnet or the nails being made of a material that is not attracted to the magnet, such as stainless steel. Some nails are made from non-magnetic materials, so they wouldn't be attracted to a magnet.
Why are nails made very sharp at one end thicker than the other end?
because one end is pointed so the way it goes through the wood and the other end is flat because that way the hammer can hit it too go into the wood or what ever else your putting it into that is why the nails are madevery sharp at one end thicker than the other end other end
What force keeps the nails and paper clips attached together?
Magnetic force. Nails and paper clips are often made of iron or steel which are attracted to magnets, allowing them to stick together.
Are nails good insulators?
No, nails are not good insulators. They are usually made of conductive materials such as metal, which allows electricity or heat to easily pass through them. If you are looking for insulation, consider materials like rubber or plastic instead.
Which of the following would have the best thermal conductor properties a thick mug or a cup made of metal?
A cup made of metal would have better thermal conductor properties than a thick mug. Metal is a better conductor of heat than ceramic or glass, allowing the metal cup to heat up or cool down faster when in contact with hot or cold liquids.
What are substance are nails made of?
Nails were historically made of iron by a local blacksmith. Nowadays, most nails are usually made in factories from steel wire, although they could also be made of aluminium, brass, or many other metals.
Nails are made of plastic?
Nails are typically made of metal, such as iron or steel, because these materials provide strength and durability for construction purposes. Plastic is not commonly used for nails as it is not as strong or reliable for holding materials together.
What are wood nails made out of?
Carpet nails are generally made of mild steel.
What are iron nails?
iron nails are nails made up of iron
Finger nails are made of?
Finger nails are made of a protein called keratin.
From which other metals - apart from iron - do they make nails?
Some nails are made of copper or brass. Also, some nails are galvanized to protect them from rust. There are also aluminum nails--they're used with vinyl siding and aluminum trim coil.
Hair and nails are made primarily of calcium.?

Are the nails on fingers and the nails on toes are made of the same material?
Yes
What substance are naii?
Finger nails (and toe nails) are made of keratin.
Are nails made out of cartilage?
Nails are NOT made out of cartilage. Nails are made out of keratin, the same structural component that makes up hair. Both keratin and cartilage are types of structural proteins, but they are not related.
Is hair and nails the same?
No, hair and nails are not the same. Hair is made of protein called keratin, while nails are also made of keratin but have a different structure and function in the body. Hair grows from follicles in the skin, while nails grow from the nail matrix at the base of the nail.
Do they use real nails for fake nails?
No they definitely don't and can't, false nails are usually made of acrylic.
