Question

How does moving your hand backward while catching a cricket ball reduce pain?

विकल्प

• Increases ball’s momentum

• Increases time of impact, so force is less

• Increases hand’s mass

• Changes ball’s direction

Answer 1

Increases time of impact, so force is less

Explanation:

Moving your hand backward increases the impact time (Δt). Using F = \[\frac {Δp}{Δt}\], a larger time results in a smaller force, causing less pain.
