Question

State whether given statement is True or False.
An experienced cricketer allows a shorter time for his hands to stop the ball so as to catch the ball easily.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The change in momentum of ball is constant since the ball is coming to rest from an initial velocity. By increasing the time taken by ball to come to rest, the force experienced by cricketer can be decreased since the product of force and time is equal to change in momentum. Hence, he allows larger time for his hands to stop the ball as to catch it easily,given statement is false and correct answer is B.
