The surface of a softball is larger so it does not go as fast as a small basseball. Though the batter and pitcher(s) determine a lot of the force. -Marina20


Why do you have to have negative acceleraton?

A negative acceleration, or deceleration, is the cause of unbalanced forces, where the force opposing the direction of travel is greater than the force along the direction of travel.


How does action reaction forces apply to softball?

the ball exerts a force on the bat creating action and in turn you apply a force that is greater than the action force. this is called the reaction force.


Why does a space shuttle have to travel so fast?

In softball what is a force?

A force is when there is an automatic out at the base if the ball is thrown there


Why can a batter hit a pitched baseball further than a ball tossed in the air by the batter?

A ball that is pitched has a greater velocity and a greater momentum so when the bat hits the ball and transfers energy to the ball, the greater the original momentum the more force that the ball will travel with causing it to go farther.


What are differences between stick ball and baseball?

If equal force were applied to a basketball and a baseball which would travel further according to Newton's 2nd law of motion?

They would travel equal distances because equal amounts of force allows for an equal amount of acceleration.
