Why it is easier to stop tennis ball then criket ball
Answers
Answer:
A body moves only when a force of certain magnitude in certain direction is applied to it.
The moving body can be stopped when an opposite force of equal magnitude is applied to it.
The mass of a moving tennis ball is less than that of a cricket ball moving at the same velocity.
Thus the tennis ball has less momentum than the cricket ball, because of which it is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball moving with the same velocity. Also it offers more friction
. So, it is easier to grip tennis ball.
Answer:
Mass of tennis ball is lesser than the mass of Cricket ball
Explanation:
weight ( w = mg) of tennis ball is lesser than than of a cricket ball thus it has less momentum than the cricket ball. Hence, force to be applied by the hand in the opposite direction of the tennis ball to make it come to rest is lesser than than the force required to stop a cricket ball.
