By doing this he increases the time due to which the rate of change momnetemdecreases. that means the ball comes to rest gently and does not hurt the fielder. but, if does not move his hand backwards, then the ball would come to rest in a fraction of second with a high rate of change of momentum. the ball will exert a lot of force on the hands of the fielder which will hurt him.

A wave with a greater amplitude will transfer . . . . \
Orlov [11]

Answer:

More energy

Explanation:

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave itself. In particular, the amount of energy carried by the wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave:

E \propto A^2

where

E is the energy

A is the amplitude

This means, for instance, that if the amplitude of a wave is doubled, the energy it carries increases by a factor 4.
