Batter A is likely to hit the ball greater distance because the swinging motion from a resting position allows for greater momentum and force generation through the kinetic chain compared to Batter B, who strikes the ball from a stationary position directly behind it, resulting in a potentially less powerful and efficient hit.
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?
