Question

while taking a catch during a cricket match on a boy pull his hand back to increase the time taken by the ball to come to rest. this technique is based on ________
(1) Newton's first law of motion
(2) newton's second law of motion
(3) Newtons third law of motion
(4) the law of conservation of momentum​

Answer 1

The action is based on the newton's second law of motion which states that rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to applied force and is in the direction of force.

$F = \frac{dp}{dt}$

where the proportionality constant = 1
