The human body is equipped with a self-protective system that results in pain when potential danger or bodily damage are involved. "Nociceptive" pain comes from nerves in the peripheral nervous system that respond only to stimuli that is at or above a threshold of harmful intensity. it alerts the person that something is going on that poses a significant hazard.

When one decides to ram his fist into a wall, or does any of a large number of other equally dumb things, the nociceptive pain serves as an object lesson: "When you do that, it hurts. Instant solution: don't do it again." The body and brain cooperate in informing their occupant that his self-destructive impulses have consequences.

Kids learn a great deal from doing things that hurt or give them booboos. Sometimes adults need refresher courses.

When you hit a wall and sponge with equal force in which case it hurts more?

Hitting a wall with a harder, less compressible object like your hand would hurt more than hitting it with a softer, more compressible object like a sponge. This is because the force is transferred more directly through the harder object, leading to greater impact on your hand.


Why is it that when you accidentally hit your hand against the wall you get electrocuted?

Hitting your hand against the wall would not cause you to get electrocuted. If you feel a sudden jolt or shock when touching a wall, it may be due to static electricity buildup on your body, especially in dry conditions. This can create a temporary imbalance in charge resulting in a small discharge when you touch a conductor like a wall.


What action or reaction does your hand have pushing against a wall?

When pushing against a wall, your hand exerts a force in the direction of the wall. The wall exerts an equal and opposite reaction force back on your hand, resulting in the sensation of resistance and pressure. This interaction follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


What are the forces involved when someone pushes on a wall?

When someone pushes on a wall, the main forces involved are the normal force exerted by the wall on the person's hand (perpendicular to the wall) and the force exerted by the person's hand on the wall (opposite in direction to the normal force). Friction between the person's hand and the wall also plays a role in resisting the motion of the hand.


You hit a wall with a stick the equal but opposite reaction is the wall push against you the stick pushes against you you push against the stick or the wall pushes against the stick?

The equal and opposite reaction is the wall pushing back against you. When you hit the wall with a stick, the force you exert on the wall is transferred to you through the stick, causing the wall to push back with an equal force. The stick simply transmits this force between you and the wall.

Why does it hurt when you hit your hand on water?

When you hit your hand on water, it can hurt due to the rapid deceleration of your hand as it strikes the surface. Water, while fluid, has a density that creates resistance when your hand moves quickly into it, leading to a sudden stop that can cause pain. Additionally, the impact can cause minor trauma to the skin and underlying tissues, resulting in discomfort.

If you hit a tennis ball with the tennis racket which has more force?

Accordig to one of Newton's laws, the force is equal because objects exert equal and opposite force on one another. This is why if you punch a brick wall, your hand will probably hurt. You are hitting the brick wall and it is "hitting" you back with the same amount of force.

It is a sport where you hit a rubber ball, that is slightly smaller than a tennis ball, against a wall and when it bounces back, your opponent must hit it. It would be similar to playing squash using your hand instead of a racket.
