A player caught a cricket ball of mass l50 g moving at a rate of 20 m/s. If the catching process is completed in 0 . l second, the force of blow exerted by the ball on the hand of the player is equal to

Easy
Solution

This problem can be solved by applying the theorem of
impulse- momentum, i. e., 

|F×Δt|=∣ change in momentum  F×01=pfpi Hero pi=mvi=015×20=3 and pf=0 (ball stops after catching)  F×01=|03|=3 F=30N
