Question

What laws of motion are demonstrated by a hammer pounding a nail into a board?

Answer 1

A hammer pounding a nail into a board is an example of Newton’s Third law.

Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning, when you hit the hammer on the board the same amount of energy that is going into the board, is going into the hammer. Causing the hammer to bounce off the board.
