1.	A cricket player lowers his hands to catch the ball safely. Explain, why?
Answer» The impulse is equal to the product of the force exerted by the ball and the time to catch. By lowering the hands, the time to catch increases. Then the force exerted on the hands becomes much smaller and it does not hurt the cricketer.
