The Physics of a Punch
Have you ever watched an action movie and wondered, "Can he really break those bricks?" The power of a punch comes from Newton's Second Law: Force = Mass x Acceleration.
How we calculate it?
A good punch isn't just arm strength; it uses your body weight. Professional boxers transfer about 40-50% of their body mass into the punch at high speeds.
- Average Person: Generates around 1500-2000 Newtons. Enough to hurt, but not break bones easily.
- Pro Boxer: Can generate over 4000 Newtons. That's enough force to crack a skull or break a concrete block!
