The angular velocity of the bat can be calculated using the equation: angular velocity = linear velocity/radius. In this case, the linear velocity is 40 m/s and the radius is 120 cm, so the angular velocity of the bat is 0.33 rad/s.
The sweet spot on a baseball bat is 120 cm from the axis of rotation during the swing of the bat. (This seems long at first, since the bat is shorter than 120 cm. But the bat’s axis of rotation is outside of the bat and passes through the body of the batter.) If the sweet spot on the bat moves 40 m/s, how fast is the angular velocity of the bat
