Question

24 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which baseball bat will hit the ball the longest distance? Students in Mr. Brant's class designed an experiment to test this research question. The table shows the trial data they collected for the different bats. Which bat, based on this data, would be the best choice if you were interested in using low force to move the ball?

A. wood
B. alloy
C. aluminum
D. alloy or aluminum

Answer 1

The correction answer is Alloy. If you look at the graph, and pay attention to the wording in the question, it says "using low force to move the ball." The best option for moving the ball with low force is Alloy. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is: B. alloy.

The best choise in using low force (100 N, 200 N, 300 N) to move the ball is alloy, because it has the greatest distance (25 m, 30 m, 80 m).

One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass (in this example bat) at the rate of one metre per second squared in direction of the applied force.

Newton's second law of motion: F = m · a.

F - force applied.

m - mass of the object receiving the force.

a - the acceleration of the object.
