Question

Which of the following statements is not based on Newton’s third law of motion?

(a) Flight of jet plane

(b) Taking hands backward by cricketer while holding the catch

(c) Walking on floor

(d) Recoil of rubber ball

Answer 1

Correct option is : (b) Taking hands backward by cricketer while holding the catch

A cricketer pulls his hands backward while holding the catch to minimise the impulse imapred on hands. On doing so, the     time interval increases, therefore the force on hands decreases.

Thus option (b) is correct.
