Which of these best describes what happens when a ball hits the sweet spot (node) of a bat?

Group of answer choices

Most of the energy from the swinging of the bat is transferred to the ball.

Much of the energy of the ball hitting the bat is turned into oscillating the bat.

The waves created when the ball hits the bat and bounces off make the bat oscillate.

The bat breaks.

Hitting the ball on the sweet spot makes the vibration caused by the ball hitting the bat cancel out. Since less energy is used on that vibration, more energy can go to the ball. ... This causes the ball to bounce off of the hitters bat at dangerously high velocities
