If you know the weight of the hammer, and the velocity it hits the nail. What would you need to know about friction forces, etc in order to calculate how far it is driven down into the wood? So assume the hammer weight 0,5kg and it is being swung at 50m/s when it hits the nail. Friction is (?). how far is the nail driven down?
I assume these two equations at least are needed.

- Impuls = p= m*v
- Energy = m*v^2/2
