Answer 2

A fielder takes his hands backward while catching a cricket ball to reduce the impulsive force.

• If the fielder would keep his hands stationary then the linear momentum transferred to the hands of the fielder is large in a very short period of time.
• But when the fielder draws his hands in the backward direction, he simply reduces the impulse force by which the ball hits his hand by increasing the time period of the catch.
