QUESTION:
A person trying to throw a ball as far as possible will runforward during the throw. Explain why this increases thedistance of the throw.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The person throwing a ball runs as far as possible to gain the maximum velocity before launching the ball into the air.
The momentum of an object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object. Thus higher the velocity of the person throwing the ball, the higher will be his momentum.
