Question
In which of the following examples of motion, can the body be considered approximately a point object: A spinning cricket ball that turns sharply on hitting the ground.
✓
Answer
The size of a spinning cricket ball is comparable to the distance through which it turns sharply on hitting the ground. Hence, the cricket ball cannot be considered as a point object.
