A catcher "gives" with a baseball when catching it. If the baseball exerts a force of 475 N on the glove such that the glove is displaced 8.97 cm, how much work is done by the ball? Answer in units of J.

Respuesta :

Answer:

W=42.60 J

Explanation:

Given that

F = 475 N

Acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.8 m/s²

Height ,h= 8.97 cm = 0.0897 m ( we know 1 m = 100 cm)

As we know that work done by a force given as

W = F . d

F=force

d=Displacement

W=work done by force

Now by putting the values

W=475 x 0.0897 J

W=42.60 J

Therefore the work done by the ball will be 42.60 J.
