A goalkeeper in a game of football pulls his hands backwards while holding the ball shot at the goal. This enables the goalkeeper to

A

exert larger force on the ball

B

reduce the force exerted by the ball on hands

C

decrease the rate of change on momentum

D

Both B & C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The goalkeeper pulls his hands backwards after holding th ball to decrease the rate of change of momentum by increasing the time. By doing this, less force is exerted on his hands, (Force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum).

In the following example,try to identify the number of times the velocity of the ball changes: "A football player kicks a football to another player of his team who kicks the football towards the goal. The goalkeeper of the opposite team collects the football and kicks it towards a player of his own team"? Also identify the agent supplying the force in each case.

A block of mass M is tied to one end of a massless rope. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man of mass 2M as shown in Fig. The block and the man art resting on a rough wedge of mass M . The whole system is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The man starts walking towards right while holding the rope in his hands. Pulley is massless and frictionless. Find the displacement of the wedge when the block meets the pulley. Assume wedge is sufficiently long so that man does not fall down.

A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situatted at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middlefilngers and making the throw. If he projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed shold it be projected so that it directly hits the stationary goli without falling on the ground earlier?

State whether the following statements are true or false by writing T/F against them. (a) Earth moves around Sun with a uniform velocity. (b) The motion of moon around Earth in a circular path is an accelerated motion. ( c) A uniform linear motion is unaccelerated, while a uniform circular motion is an accelerated motion. (d) In a uniform circular motion, the speed continuously changes because the direction of motion changes.
