the law of inertia says that your hands will want to continue going in the direction that they are going at a constant speed and the sudden stop causes the pain.

Newton's third law of motion, often referred to as the law of action-reaction, explains why your hands hurt when you clap loudly. When you clap, your hands exert a force against each other, resulting in a collision. According to Newton's third law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The force of the clapping is transferred back onto your hands, causing discomfort or pain.
