To catch a fast-moving ball, you extend your hand forward before contact with the ball and let it ride backward in the direction

of the ball's motion. Doing this reduces the force of contact on your hand principally because the Group of answer choices force of contact is reduced relative velocity is less time of contact is increased time of contact is decreased none of these

Answer:

C: time of contact is increased

Explanation:

When a ball is falling from height, it maintains the same mass but velocity may change depending on the conditions in that environment.

Now, to catch the ball on your palm, you need to find a way to reduce the momentum of the ball upon hitting your hand.

Now, to reduce the momentum, we need to apply impulse.

This is because we know that;

Impulse(I) = F × t = change in momentum (m(v - u))

Thus;

I = Ft

F = I/t

We are told that extending the hand reduces the force of contact on your hand.

Thus;

For F which is the force to be reduced, the denominator (t) has to be increased.

Thus, the correct answer is that time of contact is increased

On the Newtonian theory of gravity, gravitation affects anything with mass. Assuming that none of the answer choices is the only thing that exists in the universe, all of the answer choices are subject to the law of universal gravitation (hence “universal”).

Satellites, water, frogs, and stars all have mass as they are all composed of matter. Thus, all four answer choices should be circled.
