Boxers attempt to move with an opponent's punch when it is thrown. in other words, a boxer moves in the same direction as their opponent's punch. this movement may prevent a knockout blow being delivered by their opponent. explain how.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the change of momentum of an object if the object is acted by a force for an interval of time. By delaying the time, the impact of the force can be reduced.

Boxers attempt to move with an opponent's punch when it is thrown. The force applied by the opponent's punch is extended over a longer time. Then the effect of the force of the blow can be reduced. In this case, the chances of a knockout blow being delivered by their opponent can be minimized.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
