Question

The handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is usually rough. Explain the reason.

Answer 1

The handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is rough, so that while playing, the bat or badminton racquet does not slip away from the hands of the player. Roughness is responsible for the frictional force between handle of the bat or a badminton racquet and'hands, without which gripping is not possible.
