The Speed of the bat upon contact of the Baseball is the element which produces the energy to drive the baseball over the fence. This of course assumes the ball hits the bat on the "sweet spot" and there isn't a Wrigley Field 40 knot wind blowing into your face.

Some may argue a player's strength provides the power to produce home runs, but although strength plays a large role in powering the body, which enables the body to work in unison, brute strength will not produce out of the park home runs.

What forces are acting upon a bike riders' helmet?

The main forces acting on a bike rider's helmet are gravity, which pulls the helmet downward, and air resistance or drag, which opposes the helmet's motion through the air. In the event of a crash, impact forces from the rider's head hitting a surface also come into play.


What is the definition of capillarity in terms of Physics?

Capillarity in physics refers to the phenomenon of a liquid rising or falling in a narrow tube due to the combination of adhesive and cohesive forces between the liquid and the tube material. The height of the liquid column is determined by the balance between these forces and the curvature of the meniscus.


What do the equal action and reaction forces do not cancel each other when one person hits a ball?

The equal action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out when one person hits a ball because they act on different objects. The force exerted by the person hitting the ball causes the ball to accelerate in the direction of the force, while the reaction force from the ball pushes back on the person, causing them to feel the impact of hitting the ball.


Is a heavier bat better for hitting home runs in baseball?

A heavier bat can potentially hit the ball farther, but it may also be harder to swing quickly. The best bat weight for hitting home runs depends on a player's strength and swing technique.


Explain what forces act on a car crash dummy?

During a car crash, the crash dummy experiences several forces including inertia, impact force, and compression forces. Inertia causes the dummy to resist changes in motion, the impact force from the collision can cause acceleration or deceleration, while compression forces can result from the dummy hitting the seatbelt or airbag.
