In order to catch a ball, a baseball player naturally moves his or her hand backward in the direction of the ball's motion once the ball contacts the hand. This habit causes the force of impact on the players hand to be reduced in size principally because a the time of impact is decreased b none of these the time of impact is increased d the momentum change is decreased O O O O
