Question

the cricket coach explains that the follow through with shot will make the ball travel a greater distance .explain the reasoning in term of the impulse momentum theorem
its so important please answer it pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer 1

Explain why:

A follow through-shot will make a cricket ball travel a greater distance.

Explaination:

• We know that when a ball is hit by a bat, the ball remains momentarily in contact with the bat.

• This results in impulse being imparted to the ball by the bat is given by the following equation .

Impulse = Momentum × time

• So, when we perform a follow-through shot, the bat stays in contact with the ball for a longer period of time.

• Since the time factor in the above equation increases, the impulse generated on the ball also increases.

• This results in a greater distance covered by the ball.
