Answer:

both hit qaulity

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Third Law says that every interaction involves two forces - in this case (1) hammer pushes nail, and (2) nail pushes hammer. When a hammer hits a nail, Newton's Third Law says that the force that the hammer exerts on the nail is exactly the same size as the force the nail exerts on the hammer.
