Question

Analyze the collision of a baseball with a bat. During which portion of the collision does the baseball’s velocity reach zero?

Hint: During the collision, the baseball goes from a negative velocity to a positive velocity. At some point, the velocity is zero.


before the collision


during the collision


one second after the collision


one-hundredth of a second after the collision

Answer 1

During the collision

Step-by-step explanation:

took multiple tests

Answer 2

Answer:During the collision

Step-by-step explanation:

When a baseball collides with bat its velocity changes from Positive To negative i.e. ball changes its direction to exactly opposite of initial. During collision at some point in time velocity of ball reaches zero and then finally changes its direction associated with an increase in velocity of the ball. velocity after depends upon the amount of force acting on the ball and the time of contact of force.
