it is simply because momentum of a solid ball,which is more than a hollow ball as solid ball has a great mass with respect to hollow ball!

By Definition of momentum:-

vector P=m.v<velocity>

direction of momentum is in direction of motion so momentum is greater of solid ball that's why it is hard to catch a solid ball!

it can be understood well with the knowledge of moment of inertia...

newton's law states " a body continues to be in a state of rest, or a state of motion in a straight line, until an external force is applied to overcome it."

now the greater is the mass of an object the more is its moment of inertia, so more force has to be applied to bring a ball to rest when it is moving..

Why it is possible to catch a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius?

The solid ball, will have more mass in comparison to the hollow ball of the same radius. Since, momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, the solid object will have more momentum. Therefore, the force required to stop the solid ball will be much greater than the force required to stop the hollow ball (since, the hollow ball will have less momentum because of its less mass). That's why its difficult to catch a a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius.skhatti
