Why does a fielder pull his arms back while trying to catch a cricket ball?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

When a fielder stops a fast moving ball suddenly, change in momentum is brought about in a very short time, and hence a large force acts on the fielder's hand. Thus, his hand may get hurt. But, when the fielder stops the ball by gradually pulling his hand back, then the same change in momentum is brought about in a longer period of time and as a result,the ball will exert lesser force on the hands of the fielder and the fielder will not get hurt.

Questions 23-25 are based on the information given below. Read the information and answer the questions that follow:A bob of mass ‘m’ is suspended by a string, g be the acceleration due to gravity the bob.When the bob is stationary, the tension ‘T’ in the string is T=mg.When the bob is pulled up with an acceleration ‘a’ the tension in the string is given by T= m (g + a)When the bob is allowed to move down with an acceleration ‘a’, the tension T in the string is given byT= m (g –a)
