In T-ball, batters hit a ball that is placed on a T- shaped stand. Batter A hits the ball by swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder. Batter B hits the ball with the bat directly behind it. In one or two sentences, create and justify a claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance.
1 answer
Batter B will likely hit the ball the greater distance because by hitting it directly behind the ball, they maximize the transfer of their swinging force onto the ball, resulting in a more powerful hit compared to Batter A.
