The head of a hammer is loose and you wish to tighten it by banging it against the top of a workbench. Why is it better to hold the hammer with the handle down rather then with the head down? Explain in terms of inertia.

By holding it with the handle down, the head has more mass and therefore more inertia which means it will be pulled towards the earth more, making it easier to reconnect
