When a musician hits a drum with a drumstick, a collision occurs that involves both contact and force interaction. The drumstick exerts a force on the drum, causing it to vibrate and produce sound. Simultaneously, the drum exerts an equal and opposite force back on the drumstick, which may cause the stick to bounce slightly. This interaction illustrates Newton's third law of motion, where for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
