Option 3 : A fielder pulling his hand backward while catching a ball
A fielder pulling his hand backward while catching a ball is an application of newton’s second law of motion.
Newton's Second Law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied force in the direction of the force. ie., F=ma. Where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the body, and a is the acceleration produced.
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that 'To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'.
A fielder pulls his hand backward; while catching a cricket ball coming with a great speed, to reduce the momentum of the ball with a little delay. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion; rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied in the direction.
