We all know that punching a solid wall can badly hurt your hands. Using Newton's Third Law, how can you explain this happening? a. According to Newton's Third Law, the force you put into the wall with your punch causes the wall to put that same force back onto your hand. b. According to Newton's Second Law, the harder you hit the wall, the more you need to exert yourself and your hand to do so, which damages your hand c. According to Newton's First Law, you cannot stop your hand once your cause it to start moving, thus your hand will be damaged by hitting the wall because you can't stop it in time d. Newton's Laws cannot explain this
