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.

Bchemical energy.
Ckinetic energy.
Dnuclear energy.

Verified Answer :

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

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).
