A student comments on the first experiment, saying, “The batter uses more energy to swing a heavier bat than to swing a lighter bat. That’s the reason why the ball speed from the heavier bat was faster.” Which BEST describes if the student’s reasoning makes sense?
A. Yes, it makes sense because the student is using the principle of the conservation of energy.
B. No, it does not make sense because the student is ignoring the principle of the conservation of energy.
C. Yes, it makes sense because the student is using the fact that potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.
D. No, it does not make sense because the student is ignoring the fact that potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.
