A hammer head of mass 600g, produces force
of 360N when it strikes the head of a nail Explain how it's possible for the hammer to
drive the nail into a piece of wood, yet a weight of360N resting on the head of
Nail would not??

When a hammer is swung in the air, it accumulates the energy in the form of kinetic energy and this energy is imparted to the nail in an instant produces a

a large amount of force to drive the nail into the wood.

The amount depends upon how large your swing and the size of the hammerhead as more energy will be accumulated if the above process occurs to a greater extent.
