Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.
