While catching a ball, a player pulls down his hands to lower the– 

(1) force 

(2) momentum 

(3) impulse 

(4) catching time


Answer: (2) A cricketer lowers his hands while taking a catch to decrease the rate of momentum. Cricketers increase the time by pulling their hand’s backward with the ball while taking a catch. Linear momentum or translational momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. For example, a heavy truck moving fast has a large momentum—it takes a large and prolonged force to get the truck up to this speed, and it takes a large and prolonged force to bring it to a stop afterwards. If the truck were lighter or moving slowly, then it would have less momentum.
