12. Explain briefly why the work done by a fielder when he takes a catch in a cricket match is negative. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explain briefly why the work done by a fielder when he takes a catch in a cricket match is negative. Work done is said to be negative when a force opposes the motion or tries to stop a moving body since the fielder also tries to stop the moving ball. Hence, his work done is also negative.
