A fielder pulls his hands gradually with the moving ball while holding a catch

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By pulling the hands gradually backward with the moving ball, the fielder increases the time during which the momentum of the ball coming with high velocity decreases slowly and therefore the impact of catching the fast moving ball is reduced

A boy while catching a ball experiences impulse of 6 Ns. If mass of ball is 200 gram, then what will be speed of ball during catch

(a) When a molecule (or an elastic ball) hits a ( massive) wall, it rebounds with the same speed. When a ball hits a massive bat held firmly, the same thing happens. However, when the bat is moving towards the ball, the ball rebounds with a different speed. Does the ball move faster or slower? (b) When gas in a cylinder is compressed by pushing in a piston, its temperature rises. Guess at an explanation of this in terms of kinetic theory using (a) above. (c) What happens when a compressed gas pushes a piston out and expands. What would you observe ? (d) Sachin Tendulkar used a heavy cricket bat while playing. Did it help him in anyway ?

By the term velocity of rain, we mean velocity with which raindrops fall relative to the ground. In absence of wind, raindrops fall vertically and in presence of wind raindrops fall obliqucly. Moreover raindrops acquire a constant terminal velocity due air resistance very quickly as they fall toward the carth. A moving man relative to himself observes an altered velocity of raindrops. Which is known as velocity of rain relative to the man. It is given by the following equation. vec(v)_(rm)=vec(v)_(r)-vec(v)_(m) A standstill man relative to himself observes rain falling with velocity, which is equal to velocity of the raindrops relative to the ground. To protect himself a man should his umbrella against velocity of raindrops relative to himself as shown in the following figure. Rain is falling vertically with velocity 80 cm/s. (a) How should you hold your umbrella ? (b) You start walking towards the east with velocity 60 cm/s. How should you hold umbrella ? (c) You are walking towards the west with velocity 60 cm/s. How should you hold your umbrella ? (d) You are walking towards the north with velocity 60 cm/s. How should you hold your umbrella? (e) You are walking towards the south with velocity 80 cm/s. How should you hold your umbrella ?
