Nathan lost his balance when he hit the bag with a hard punch. He says that was because of the reaction force from his punch, which was large because the bag is heavy. Is he correct?
Yes, he is correct.
No, it is not the weight, it is the large mass of the bag that gives the large reaction force.
No, the reaction force depends on the force of Nathan's punch, not on the mass of the bag.
No, the bag does not exert a reaction force, because it is flexible.
Answer explanation
The correct choice is 'No, the reaction force depends on the force of Nathan's punch, not on the mass of the bag.' The reaction force is determined by the force applied, not the mass of the bag.
