When you hit a hammer on the head of a nail, all the momentum associated with hammer is transferred into nail. And due to this, the surface of nail gets deformed or if you touch it you can feel the rise in temperature. When you hit a hammer on nail, hammer exerts force on nail and by Newton's 3rd law, nail will also exert a force on the hammer perpendicular to the surface of the hammer of same magnitude but its direction will be reversed. Thus, only 2 forces acts in this interaction and they are action-reaction pairs.

A student claims "everything falls at the same acceleration rate on the Moon, where there is no air or friction," how would you
Alexeev081 [22]

Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
