Question

When we kick a stone, we get hurt. Due to which of the following properties of stone does it happens?

• A. Inertia
• B. Velocity
• C. Reaction
• D. Momentum

Answer 1

The correct option is D Momentum

This happens due to Newton's third law of motion$.$

To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction$.$ When you kick stone$,$ you apply some force on it$.$

To maintain the law of conservation of momentum$,$ the stone also exerts a force on the leg$.$ which we feel as pain$.$

Hence,

option $\left(D\right)$ is correct answer.
