What force causes a baseball bat to break when it hits a thrown baseball?

Usually because the ball hits in what you could call the weakest part of the bat. If the ball hits directly on a grain, or a weak part of a poorly made bat. the bat will crack. Also, the ball can break the bat at the handle, where the bat is thinnest, due to the massive amount of force the ball is traveling with as it comes in contact with the bat.

What actually causes some of the bats to break in baseball?
just like the sweet spot is the strongest part of the bat the grain is the weakest part so when a massive amount of force is implied the bat can break.
What force causes a car to stop when the driver hits the break?
Friction?
Why would a baseball go higher if it were thrown up from the surface of the Moon than if it were thrown up with the same velocity from the surface of Venus?
The force of gravity.
Describe contact force and noncontact force that affect the motion of a baseball a pitcher has thrown the ball?
The contact force will keep the ball moving but as the ball goes farther the ball slows down that's were the non contact force comes in it makes the ball not in contact
Why does the egg break when you throw it from long distance and doesn't when you throw it from small distance?
There is more force behind the egg thrown further distance than the egg thrown from small distance. That and gravity acceleration.
Which travels faster-a baseball that is thrown or a baseball that is hit with a bat?
There are a multitude of variable that need to be taken insto consideration. For each, How much force is being put into the swing or throw?? For The batted ball, it depends of the angle of which it strikes the bat. For the thrown, If there is the same force exerted on the ball as the batted ball, it will have half of the velocity. But, all variables considered, a typical batted ball travels with more force and velocity (Speed) than one thrown.
In softball what is a force?
A force is when there is an automatic out at the base if the ball is thrown there
The force that causes rocks to break as plates rub past each other is called what?
The force that causes rocks to break as plates rub past each other is called shear stress. This stress leads to the formation of faults and the subsequent release of energy in the form of earthquakes.
Which force makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground?
Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.
