A boy swinging a bat demonstrates the use of a lever. The bat acts as the load with the boy providing the effort at one end, while the fulcrum is where the bat contacts the boy's hands. The lever amplifies the force the boy exerts, allowing him to swing the bat with greater speed and power.
A baseball bat is a type 3 class lever, where the force is applied between the fulcrum (handle end) and the resistance (the ball end). This allows for a good mechanical advantage for hitting the ball with speed and force.
Examples of third class lever systems include a fishing rod, a pair of tweezers, and a baseball bat. In these systems, the effort (input force) is applied between the fulcrum and the resistance (output force), resulting in an increase in speed or distance but a decrease in force.
A cricket bat is considered a third-class lever because the effort (force applied by the batsman) is between the load (the ball) and the fulcrum (the hands holding the bat). This lever arrangement allows the batsman to exert force over a longer distance to increase the speed and power of the ball when struck.

You are thinking of the baseball bat. The ball itself is not a lever. The bat is a lever, in the sense that it magnifies the motion of your arms.
a baseball bat is a "lever" in the way that the ball comes off the bat. When the baseball makes contact with the bat, the bat gives, or bends. What causes the ball to then travel is when the bat snaps back into a straight object. Thus, the bat is, in a way, a lever.

Third class.
It seems the baseball would be the load, the bat and your arm would together form a lever, and your shoulder would be the fulcrum.
Simple machine, lever
obvioulsy not
In 'normal use', the baseball bat functions as a lever and not a wedge. Physically speaking, any cone-shaped item such as a baseball bat could be used as a wedge.
yes, it belongs to the third class lever. it is considered a lever because the force is between the effort and the resistance. THANK YOU
