A catcher "gives" with a baseball when catching it.If the baseball exerts a force of 462 N on the glove such that the glove is displaced 11.9 cm,...

The work done is the product of force and the distance the glove displaced..

The force is 462N.The distance the force displaced the glove is

11.9cm.

1Joule = 1Newton force acting for a distance of 1 meter = 1N m

Therefore, the work done inthe displacement of the glove=

462N*11.9cm=462N*(11.9/100)M=54.978Nm =54.978J
