Suppose your throw a stone vertically upwards. You may sustain hand injury if you try to catch it abruptly when it falls back. However, if you try to catch it gently by making your hand relaxed and flexible, you may not feel pain. Explain why.
Do you observe any difference if you catch the stone with two hands rather than with one hand? Why?
How do you think soccer players easily control the ball during passes?
Have you carefully observed the design of sports equipment? Why they are designed in such a way?
Suppose you encounter two car accidents. The first car crashed directly into a tree resulting in severe damage. The second car went through bushes and didn’t sustain severe damage except superficial damage to the exterior of the car. In relation to impulse and linear momentum, discuss why the first car sustained severe damage while the second car did not.
Given the concepts of impulse and linear momentum, how does the time duration over which a force acts on an object affect the resulting change in the object's momentum.
