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 one or two sentences, create and justify a claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance.(2 points) write the answer in 2-3 sentences (the answer is batter A)
Batter A is likely to hit the ball a greater distance because swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder allows for a longer arc, generating more power and momentum compared to Batter B who hits the ball with the bat directly behind it, limiting the swinging range and potentially reducing the distance of the hit.
