The handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is usually rough. Explain the reason.

The handle of a cricket bat or badminton racquet is usually rough because:

⇒ As we know that the force of friction increases as the surface is rough.

⇒ The surface of bat or badminton racquet is rough, therefore it does not slip away through the hands.

⇒ As a result, there will be a better grip between handle of the bat and hands due to increased friction.
