Question

When catching a baseball, the ball applies a force of 39.6 N to a  catcher's glove.  If the work done on the catchers glove is 47.5 J  what is the recoil (travel of)  on the mitt?

Answer 1

d = 1.19 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by the ball, F = 39.6 N

The work done on the catchers glove is 47.5 J

We need to find the distance traveled by the ball. We know that,

Work done, W = Fd

Where

d is the distance traveled

`d=(W)/(F)\\\\d=(47.5 )/(39.6 )\\\\d=1.19\ m`

So, it will cover 1.19 m.
