Abaseball of mass 250g, pitched with a speed of 40m/s is caught by the catcher, whose glove moves backward 0.25m while stopping the ball. what was the kinetic energy of the ball before it was caught?

hèllo, sorry i really need some more points so if you need this qustion answered than retype it

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
