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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

d = 1.19 m

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

[tex]d=\dfrac{W}{F}\\\\d=\dfrac{47.5 }{39.6 }\\\\d=1.19\ m[/tex]

So, it will cover 1.19 m.
