Why a fielder in the ground gradually pulls his hands backward while catching a fast moving cricket ball?
Options:
- To reduce the acceleration of the ball
- To increase the acceleration of the ball
- To increase the velocity of the ball
- None of above
- To reduce the acceleration of the ball
- To increase the acceleration of the ball
- To increase the velocity of the ball
- None of above
Correct Answer: To reduce the acceleration of the ball
Explanation:
Pulling hands backwards while catching a ball increases the time which in turn decreases change in momentum or acceleration. Hence impact of force is reduced.
