The cricket coach explains that the follow-through with the shot will make
the ball travel a greater distance. Explain the reasoning in terms of the

Answer:
While catching a fast moving cricket ball, a fielder in the ground gradually pulls his hand backward with the moving ball, In doing so, the fielder increases the time during which the high velocity of the moving ball decrease to zero. Thus, the acceleration of the ball is decreased and therefore the impact of catching the fast moving ball is also reduced.
If the ball stopped suddenly then its high velocity is decreased to zero in a very short interval of time.
Thus, the rate of change of momentum of the ball will be large. Therefore, a large force would have to be applied for holding the catch that may hurt the palm of the fielder

Answer:During the follow-through,the bat is in contact with the ball for a longer time . According to impulse-momentum theorem,the change in momentum is equal to the impulse. In order to impart more momentum into the ball so that the ball travels a greater distance , a greater impulse is needed which is achieved by a longer time of contact between bat and ball . This increase in the time of the collision causes an increase in the change in momentum and hence velocity of the ball.
