Question

Science

Nathan is building a deck out of 2 × 4 pieces of wood using sixteen penny nails. When swinging the hammer, the end of the hammer gains speed and

a.potential energy.
b. chemical energy.
c. kinetic energy.
d. nuclear energy.

Answer 1

When it's moving, the head of the hammer has kinetic energy.

We can draw this conclusion logically from the cross-sectional dimensions
of the wood (2 x 4) and the size of the nails (16-penny).

Answer 2

C kinetic energy. As it loses potential energy, it gain kinetic energy
