Consider a cricket ball and a tennis ball (each with the same mass). If you drop the tennis ball and cricket ball from the same height (ignore air resistance), explain why it hurts more when the cricket ball lands on your foot compared to the tennis ball.

Expert Solution

solution:

here if both have same mass then both have same velocity and momentum.and both have same force impact on foot.but if tennis ball and cricket ball material is different and tennis ball is made from lighter material compare to cricket ball material then there is volume of tennis ball increase to make same ball as cricket ball.

so if volume of tennis ball is increase then net force contact area of tennis balll is more then cricket ball contact area to foot. but cricket has same amount of force with less contact area with foot.so cricket ball make more pressure on foot and it heats more .( pressure = force / areaa)

here force is equal, because momentum is equal. but ressure is different on foot.because contact area is different on foot due volume are different.so cricket ball has small volume and small contact area.so pressure by cricket ball is more then pressure of tennis ball on foot.so it is more hurt on foot
