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.

Answer 1

Batter B is likely to hit the ball a greater distance since they are hitting the ball directly behind it, allowing for a more efficient transfer of energy from the bat to the ball, resulting in a potentially stronger hit.
