I would recommend a 45 degree angle! i seem to get the most power out of my swing then. Also make sure not to drop your shoulder.

At 45 degrees you would have a nice Golf swing but a horrific softball swing. The bat will be at approximately 90 degrees to the batter and 0 degrees to the ball. The angle the ball is traveling will be different from pitch to pitch and speed of the pitcher but along the plain of the field it will be approximately 4 to 15 degrees. The force is going to depend on the speed of the pitch and the batters bat speed but it will be around 6000 lbs peak force. If you wish to get a better estimate refer to Newton's second law. You will need to ball speed and bat speed.

The distance travelled by the ping pong ball would depend on factors such as the force applied by the catapualt, the angle of launch, wind speed, and direction, etc.


Why does the tennis ball go high?

Because of the amount of force, spin, and angle you place on the ball with your raquet.


What is net force?

Net force is the addition of all forces applied. An example would be a still ball (a ball not in motion). The ball would be in "equilibrium" meaning that the ball is at rest, therefore, the net force of this ball would be 0.

How fast does a ball move inside 1.48 specific gravity water?

the speed of the object (ball in this case) would depend on the force applied, but the higher the density of matter the more force would need to be applied to generate the same speed.


Does student height affect the way a ball is hit?

I think it's the force the ball is hit with and the angle, so possible, yes.


Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular structureis the ball accelerating?

If it's going at a constant speed then it is not accelerating. To accelerate would mean to have a rate of change for speed in some direction. If the ball is going outward while traveling at a constant speed due to centrifugal force then it is accelerating. If it's going inwards due to some ground angle then it is also accelerating. From Newton's laws we know that to have a circular motion, an object must be subject to a force directed to the centre of the structure and is accelerating in that direction. This centrifugal force, exerted by the structure to the ball, is opposite in direction and magnitude to the 'fictitious' centrifugal force.


When taking a large step and planting the non-kicking foot to the side of a ball during soccer what are the principles of force summation used?

Several forces come in to play when kicking a soccer ball. The immediate force may be the velocity of the player as they run to the ball. Another force is the centripetal force of the player's thigh as it rotates at the hip. The third force is the centripetal force of the players lower leg as it rotates at the knee. A forth force is the centripetal force of the player's foot as it rotates at the ankle. The angle at which the foot comes into contact with the ball will depend the angle of flight. For example, the lower the point of contact, the higher the trajectory of the ball.
