Question

When catching a baseball, a catcher's glove moves by 11 cm along the line of motion of the ball. If the baseball exerts a force of 464 N on the glove, how much work is done by the ball

Answer 1

51.04 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement by the gloves = 11cm

Force by the baseball = 464N

First of all we are going to convert cm to metres

11cm = 11/100 meters = 0.11m

The formula for workdone is given as:

W = f x d

W = workdone

F = force

D = distance

Workdone = 464 x 0.11

= 51.04 joules

The workdone by the ball is 51.04 joules
