Question

a) Does a cricket player move his hand backward while catching the ball? b) State and prove the law of conservation of momentum​

Answer 1

Answer:

Why does a cricket player moves his hand backward while catching the ball? Answer: A fast moving cricket ball has a large momentum. ... Due to more time taken to stop theball, the rate of change ofmomentum of ball is decreased and hence a small force is exerted on the hands of player.
