A goalkeeper in a game of football pulls his hands backwards after holding the ball shot at the goal. This enables the goalkeeper to
Detailed Explanation:
✅ Statement 1 – Correct: By pulling hands backwards, the goalkeeper increases the time duration over which the ball's momentum changes to zero. Since Force = rate of change of momentum (F = Δp/Δt), increasing Δt decreases the force experienced, thereby decreasing the rate of change of momentum.
❌ Statement 2 – Incorrect: Pulling hands backwards reduces the force exerted on the ball, not increases it, by extending the time of contact.
❌ Statement 3 – Incorrect: The action decreases the force exerted by the ball on hands by increasing the stopping time, as per Newton's Third Law.
