the bat slows down when it hits the ball and then it flies into the air

When a bat hits a ball the impulse is?
It is equivalent to the change in momentum of the ball.
When a bat hits a ball the impulse is what?
It is equivalent to the change in momentum of the ball.
What happens when a girl hits a ball with a bat?
All things being equal, the bat, the ball, the force used etc., the same thing that happens when a boy hits a ball with a bat.
How does the weight of a baseball bat affect the distance the ball travels?
A bat hitting a baseball is an elastic collision which means there is a transfer of momentum from the bat to the ball. Since momentum is equal to mass multiplied by velocity, a higher mass means more momentum. However, you also must consider that it is harder to swing a heavier bat and therefore it will travel slower and therefore have less momentum.
What energy does the bat gain when you swing it?
No I would disagree with the answer NO. I believe that a bat hitting a baseball transfers energy. The energy of the swinging bat, transfers it's swinging energy into the ball, causing the ball to stop moving in one direction, changing and then quickly moving away in another direction. So, my guess would be that yes, a bat transfers energy when it hits a baseball. Now, not knowing bunches about physics (yeah, sure, I studied it in college--and barely passed the course), I can't give you the formulas and such. I'll leave that to someone else better versed in physics
What do you call the guy who hits the ball with the baseball bat in baseball?
The hitter...
What force causes a baseball bat to break when it hits a thrown baseball?
Usually because the ball hits in what you could call the weakest part of the bat. If the ball hits directly on a grain, or a weak part of a poorly made bat. the bat will crack. Also, the ball can break the bat at the handle, where the bat is thinnest, due to the massive amount of force the ball is traveling with as it comes in contact with the bat.
Which bat hits a baseball harder a wodden bat or a metal bat?
a metal bat because its got a better grip so you can hold the bat harder
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.
A baseball bat is a machine. When a batter swings and hits a ball the batter swinging is the?
The batter swinging the bat.
