    Impulse of a force measures the effect of the force. It is the product of force (F) and time (t) for which the force acts. Mathematically, impulse =Fxxt . It is equal to change in linear momentum of the body. For a given change in linear momentum, Fxxt=constant . If t increases, F decreases and vice-versa. For example, a player lowers his hands while catching a cricket ball. This would be increase t the time of catch. Therefore, F would reduce, i.e., his hands will not get hurt badly.

    To catch a fast cricket ball, a player pulls his hands backwards. Why ?

    Why is it difficult to catch a cricket ball than a tennis ball even when both are moving with the same velocity ?

    (a) Explain why, a cricket player moves his hands backwards while catching a fast cricket ball (b) A 150 g ball, travelling at 30 m/s, strikes the palm of a player's hand and is stopped in 0.05 second. Find the force exerted by the ball on the hand.

    A cricket player draws his hands backwards through 10 cm while catching a ball of mass 150 g moving with a velocity of 25 ,ms^(-1) . Calculate the work done in catching the ball and the average force exerted by the ball on the hand .

    Ankit and Rehman are two friends who live in the same colony. Ankit studies in class IX whereas Rehman is a student of class VII. One day, both Ankit and Rehman were playing cricket with other boys of the colony in the bid ground just outside their colony. At the moment, Ankit and Rehman were standing at two different fielding positions. When batsman hit the ball hard, it went very fast towards Rehman. Rehman stopped and caught the fast moving cricket ball but his hands were hurt badly in stopping the ball. The severe pain in the hands of Rehman made him drop the catch. Next moment, th bastman again hit the ball hard. This time the fast moving ball went straight towards the direction of Ankit. Ankit stopped and caught the fast ball in a particular way without hurting his hands at all. While coming back home after playing cricket, Ankit explained the proper way of catching a fast cricket ball to Rehman without getting the hands hurt. Keeping this advice in mind, Rehman never hurt his hands again while playing cricket. (a) Which physical quantity is vert large in a fast moving cricket ball having high speed? (b) In what way do you think Rehman stopped and caught the fast cricket ball which hurt his hands? (c) Why were Rehman's hands hurt in stopping and catching the fast cricket ball in this way? (d) In what way do you think Ankit stopped and caught the fast cricket ball without hurting his hands? (e) Why were Ankit's hands not hurt in stopping and catching the fast cricket ball in this way? (f) Which law of motion is involved in catching a fast cricket ball? (g) What values are displayed by Ankit in this episode?
