Action/Reaction Theory/ART-Discussion

From Wikiversity

Discuss the question by clicking on the link above. Suppose You hit a wall with your palm. Your palm will apply a force (action)on the wall and the wall will give back the reaction to your palm.

But the force applied back to your palm will be an action for your palm and your palm will apply an equal force (reaction) to the wall which will be again an action for the wall and again an reaction would be given.

So I mean to say that there will be an infinite action-reaction force between the palm and the wall but we know it didn't so what exactly happens?

Can anyone explain??



Answer:- I think the reaction we get from the wall is transferred to all our body and not only the palm So after two or three (Action-Reaction) the force becomes negligible and fade Ultimately.

If anyone has any other answer or my answer is not correct Everyone is invited to edit and add their answer.
