Solution

Dear student,
A karate player strikes a slab of ice with his hand in a very short interval of time. In doing so, the entire momentum of the hand is reduced to zero in a very short interval of time. As a result, very large force is delivered to the slab of ice which breaks it in a single blow.
Regards
