So his mass is 33% more and the ball goes 23% faster? Momentum is mass x velocity iirc.
Do you understand why this statement is wrong?
Youβre mixing the mass of the person throwing the ball with the mass of the ball.
This would matter if he was flying himself at the batsman.
Because the bowler is giving momentum to the ball?
Correct. The bowler is contributing to the velocity part of the equation
