Never pre-judge

By doing this , relative velocity of ball wet to hand decreases and hence momentum also decreases . Thus hance of injury in player's hanh gets decrease.

By increasing the time duration the force on players hand reduces..

because the cricketer increases the time in which ball is caught and as times increases, the rate of change of momentum decreases, and the force acting on the hands is reduced. It is correctly explained by given formulae as time and force are inversely proportional to each other Force = Momentum /...

Nice question to explain Newton's 2nd law which states the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force applied. If you have not lowered your hand while catching, all of the force will be absorbed by your hand (Flesh and bones) and you may feel the pain. If you have lowered appropriately...

Nice question to explain Newton's 2nd law which states the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force applied.

If you have not lowered your hand while catching, all of the force will be absorbed by your hand (Flesh and bones) and you may feel the pain. 

If you have lowered appropriately along the ball, you were actually reducing the momentum which in turn reduces the force applied. Hence you can feel less pain compared to the other case.

Now you have understood the application of Newton's 2nd law with this problem. Happy Learning!!!

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
