Question

For a batter to increase momentum at the plate, he/she can? Choose a lighter bat Choose a heavier bat Choose an aluminum bat Choose a wooden bat

Answer 1

Answer;

Choose a heavier bat

Step-by-step explanation;

• Momentum is a vector which is often defined as the product of an object’s mass with its velocity.
• Two factors affecting momentum is the mass and velocity of the object. An object that has a low velocity and a small mass produce minimal momentum because it would take a small force and/or time to stop it.
• Therefore, choosing a heavier bat would increase the momentum of the plate.
