In T-ball, batters hit a ball that is placed on a T-shaped stand. Batter A hits the ball by swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder. Batter B hits the ball with the bat directly behind it. In two or three sentences, create and justify a claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance.(2 points)
Batter B is likely to hit the ball a greater distance than Batter A. This is because by hitting the ball directly behind it, Batter B will have a more efficient transfer of energy from the bat to the ball, resulting in a greater force and therefore greater distance.
