Why do 6-ounce boxing gloves hit harder than 16-ounce gloves?
To Explain: 6-ounce boxing gloves hit harder as compared to 16-ounce gloves.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The change in momentum or the product of force and time interval is called impulse.
For extending the time of impact, the lighter gloves have less padding and less ability for its extension. It is results in the greater impact force for a given punch.
Conclusion:
The 6-ounce boxing gloves hit harder than 16-oubnce gloves because the lighter gloves have the less padding and less ability for the extension of impact time.
