Why does voltage increase (for a constant current) if temperature increases?

Voltage is directly proportional to resistant (V=IR) and resistance increases with temperature due to increased vibrations of the molecules inside the conductor. Therefore voltage increases as temperature...

When catching a ball, a cricketer moves his hands for a short distance in the direction of travel of the ball as it makes contact with his hands. Explain why this technique results in less force being exerted on the cricketer's hands

As his hand moves back with the ball, the time taken to stop the ball is greater. This means that the rate of change of momentum is less (because the rate of him changing the speed of the ball is much slo...
