Textbook shot: Babar Azam’s Cover Drive Now Included in 9th class physics textbooks

The captain of Pakistan, Babar Azam, executes magnificent cover drives. The star player electrifies the cricket stadium when he plays, even though he didn’t perform well throughout the Asia Cup 2022 competition.

A “cover drive” in cricket is the action of stroking the ball over the covers with timed wristwork and a typical movement of the front foot toward the pitch of a delivery that is targeted for or outside the off stump, according to ESPN Cricinfo. The federal board’s Physics textbook, which supports students’ science education, teaches them about the skipper’s cover drive. The internet has been buzzing with a tweet. The tweet was about a question on Babar Azam’s cover drive that was part of the ninth-grade physics curriculum (federal board).

Babar Azam has smashed a cover drive by imparting 150 J of kinetic energy to the ball with his bat.

  1. a) What is the speed at which a 120g ball will cross the line?
  2. b) How much kinetic energy does a 450g football need to have to move at this speed?

Internet users responded to the statement by praising the captain’s batting prowess. Twitter user @MariamChughtai tweeted that converting Physics to a concept-based learning approach rather than rote memorization.

Another Twitter user @cruindggn tweeted that it’s the way he wanted to study physics.

Twitter user @uswaay_ashfaq19 tweeted that there is nothing superior to Babar Azam’s cover drive.

Twitter user @NazeerRohma tweeted that one of her lecturers once used Babar Azam as an example while instructing them.

Picky people would complain that the Pakistani education board used an extremely light ball as an example. Men’s cricket balls should weigh between 155.9 grams and 163 grams, while women’s cricket balls should weigh between 140 and 151 grams, according to the MCC. 120 grams are used in the textbook. The textbook’s next two pages claim that the 120 g ball, which was struck with 150 j of kinetic energy, traveled at a speed of 50 m/s. The equation for calculating kinetic energy, EK = 1/2mv squared, was developed by the Swiss mathematician Johann Bernoulli and the German rationalist philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, who both referred to kinetic energy as a living force.

By rearranging the formula to read v2 = 2Ek/m and telling students to take the square root on both sides, the formula is changed to help the students comprehend how to calculate the velocity of the ball that Azam hit. The ball’s speed is then determined to be 50 m/s. When asked to choose a preference between Azam’s cover drive and Virat Kohli’s rendition, former England captain Nasser Hussain once apologized to the Indian fans because he was going to choose Babar Azam because he is biased. He almost chose Kohli, but he is a little different. Babar plays it more traditionally than he does, but he has the quick flip of the wrist. He would advise any young lad who wants to cover a drive to watch Babar Azam.
