Does the mass of a baseball bat react to the distance the baseball travels?

It depends whats inside the bat. If the bat is hollow, then the bat will absorb the shock from the ball. Generally if you hit it at the sweetspot(near end of the bat) the ball will go farther.

∙ 13y agoYes, as does, of course, the strength of the swing. Too heavy of a bat will result in a weaker swing. Every batter has their own specific bat mass that allows them to hit the ball further according to their swinging abilities. It can take quite a bit of time and investigation for a player to determine which bat is right for them.

∙ 13y agoYes. The way you can see if the bat is heavy or not is to hold upwards with one hand. Dosent seem that heavy does it, now hold it horzontally. Now it seems way more heavier, if you cant hold it very well thewn you should find a lighter bat. Keep doing this until you find a perfect bad.

∙ 12y agoYes but it would go farther if you used a light weight bat because it is based on bat speed the faster you swing the bat the farther it goes.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoyes it definitaly can but its best to get one your size, one to small or to big can make the ball not go as far.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoActually, I believe that a greater determinant of distance is bat speed. The greater the bat speed the further the ball will travel.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoit all depends on the person swinging the bat. if a strong person is swinging a heavy bat the ball will travel farther due to the larger mass of the bat.

How does increasing the mass of an object affect the distance the object travels?
In zero gravity, the mass of an object does not effect the distance an object travels at all unless there is a constent force acting upon it. However, if it is in contact with another object, and gravity is what keeps the 2 or more objects touching each other, then mass will effect the distance it travels because of friction.
Can you work out the speed of an object by using mass and distance?
An object's speed is (distance it travels) divided by (time to cover the distance). The object's mass doesn't matter at all.
What is the weight of a meteor dropping 118 miles to earth?
well what is the mass of the meteor, the distance it travels is unimportant
A person weighing 800 newtons on earth travels to another planet with twice the mass and twice the radius of earth the person's weight on this other planet is most nearly?
The force of gravity is proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the SQUARE of the distance between them. If we double the mass at the same distance, we double the force; if we double the distance, the force is cut to one-FOURTH. So twice the mass and twice the distance; the force will be (800*2)/2^2, or 400.
Is gravity affected by mass amd distance or mass and force?
mass and distance
What is the speed it takes to move a 1 kilogram mass in one hour?
To know the speed of an object we need to know the distance the object travels and the time it takes. The object's mass is not needed. Since we do no know the distance in this case, we cannot solve to find its speed.
What is mass times distance?
this i not a help full answer
What is the mass of the body which travels in the speed of light?
The only thing that travels at the speed of light, is light. Light is also said to have no mass, therefore the only way for something to travel at the speed of light is for it to have no mass.
What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
Does the mass affect the diatance it travels when its hit?
:-P
What affects the gravitational pull between two objects?
The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.
What efffect does mass have on the distance?
The only way that mass can have an effect on distance is if you're paying a taxi driver with mass.
