In a barfight, one person swings a punch with their bare hand and knocks another person over a table in spectacular fashion. The person who threw the punch remains stationary, their hand undamaged.
Why does this defy physics? Give Equations/Laws to justify your answer

The person who threw the punch remains stationary, and their hand undamaged because the impulse received by the opponent is greater than the reaction force experienced by the person who threw the punch.What is Newton's third law of motion?Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That is, action force and reaction force are equal and opposite.Mathematically, the Newton's third law of motion can be stated as follows;Fa = Fbwhere;Fa is the action force applied Fb is the reaction force received due to the applied forceIn a barfight, when one person swings a punch with their bare hand and knocks another person over a table in spectacular fashion. The person who threw the punch remains stationary, their hand undamaged because the impulse received by the opponent is greater than the reaction force experienced by the person who threw the punch.The force applied by the person who threw the punch maybe equal and opposite to reaction he received but the impulse experienced by the opponent is greater.Learn more about Newton's third law of motion here: Newton's third law of motion#SPJ1
