In certain martial arts, people practice breaking a piece of wood with the side of their bare hand. Use your understanding of impulse to explain how this can be done without injury to the hand.
there is so much force coming at once and adrenaline so you don't feel it
Explanation:
Impulse is defined as the product of force and small change in time. It is denoted by J.
Mathematically, it can be given as :
\(J=F\times t\)
Where
F is the acting force.
t is the time taken by the force.
Impulse is also equal to the change in momentum. In certain martial arts, people practice breaking a piece of wood with the side of their bare hand. This can be done without any injury to the hand. This is because he applies large force for a short duration of time. As a result, a lager change in momentum takes place.
