When a baseball player catches a baseball, the glove "gives" or moves backward. how does this movement affect the change in momentum of the baseball? the change in momentum increases because the impact time increases. the change in momentum decreases because the force decreases. the change in momentum stays the same because the ball still comes to a stop. the change in momentum depends on the initial speed of the ball and the time to stop.

The change in momentum increases because the impact time increases.

Explanation:

The change in momentum of an object is also called impulse (J), and it is equal to

where

F is the force applied to the object

is the time taken for the change in momentum of the object to occur (the impact time)

From the formula above, we can notice that:

- the larger the force, the larger the change in momentum

- the larger the impact time, the larger the change in momentum

In the example of the baseball caught by the glove, when the glove moves backward, the time taken for the ball to stop increases (due to the movement of the gloves). Looking at the formula, we see that this means that the impulse (the change in momentum) increases.

The change in momentum stays the same because the ball still comes to a stop.

Explanation:

here we know that momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity

so here we know that

now we know that formula to find the change in momentum is given as

now when player moves his hand backwards then in this case final speed of the ball is zero and initial speed is same

So here we can say that there is no change in the equation but only the the to stop the ball is increased.

So here change in momentum will remain the same
