How force can make change in shape of object?

If I punch someone, they will deform where they are punched. The punch is a transfer of energy - force.


How much force would a punch need to have to break someones jaw?

in layman's terms, a lot (fyi ur average guy will have a hard time of it without a weapon), but its hard to give a specific answer to this question as there is a lot of difference in each persons bones especially when you consider age as a factor. From early teenage years to roughly 33-34 years of age (when your bones are at there strongest) the force required to fracture almost any bone in the body multiplies by a factor of 2.5 to 3 times. So Your looking at at least around 3-5000 Newtons of force, and for those of you who didn't do Physics in school this is roughly like having a medium sized guy jumping on your head. so don't try it, your more likely to break several bones in your hand then to break someones jaw.


A boxer can hit a heavy bag with great force . Why can't he hit a sheet of newspaper in midair with the same amount of force?

the mass of the paper doesnt match the mass of the punch. if you look up newtons 3rd law, every action has a reaction therefore the boxer will be able to punch the paper only is the force of the punch is equal or greater than the force that exerts back the paper


Newtons third law examples?

You punch a wall but your hand stops. The wall has exerted a force that is equal and opposite to the force you applied to it.


How much force can a human exert in a punch?

Depends on the weight, build, and amount of muscle a person has. For example, Brock Lesner can exert 3,000 pounds of pressure just from grounding pounding person while he's mounted them.
