While catching a cricket ball of mass `200g` moving with a velocity of `20ms^(-1)`, the player draws his hands backwards through `20cm`. Find the work done in catching the ball and the average force exerted by the ball on the hand.

Answer» Here, `m=200g=(1)/(5)kg, u=20m//s, upsilon=0,`
`s=20cm=(1)/(5)m, W=?F=?`
Work done `=` Loss of KE
`=0-(1)/(2)m u^(2)=-(1)/(2)xx(1)/(5)(20)^(2)=-40J`
As `W=Fxxs, F=(W)/(s)=(40)/(1//5)=200N`
