. a. Explain why a cricket player lowers his hand while catching a ball.​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is related to impulse concept.

impulse,I =F/t

the ball is hited with a large force in very short time.

so the impulse is also large and so the cricketer will get hurt.

inorder to increase the time of contact between the hands and the ball, the player lowers his hands while catching.

I is inversely proportional to time

so increase in time, decreases the impulse.

so the player won't gets hurt
