A typical baseball bat weighs around 0.9 to 1.1 kilograms.
Yes, a baseball bat does contain matter because it is made up of atoms and molecules that have mass and take up space. The wood, metal, or composite material that make up the bat are all forms of matter.
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.
A moving ball has more momentum than a still bat because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. The ball's mass is likely much smaller than the bat's, but its velocity while in motion gives it a greater momentum than the bat.
Swinging a baseball bat involves both potential and kinetic energy. When the bat is held high, it has gravitational potential energy. As the bat is swung down, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

The mass of the bat and the baseball.

Kilograms.
Weight of the bats used by major leaguers generally range between 32-36 ounces.

Hillerich & Bradsby Co. Louisville Slugger has used different oval center brands in their history. By identifying the center label, trade marks, and patens you can narrow down the year to what era the bat was made. Visit the Louisville Slugger baseball bat dating guide located below (Related Links) . You can match the markings on your bat with the easy to use bat dating chart to get an approximate date for your Louisville Slugger bat.
The unit won't help you find the mass of the bat. To do that, you need some sort of a scale. Once you've found the mass, you can describe it in terms of any appropriate unit, such as 'poundmass' or 'kilogram'.
The aluminium bat is hollow.. Im pretty sure thats right! :)
its at bat
The sweet spot is near the label on a Louisville Slugger. An experienced batter knows its location well, but the scientific definition is unclear, because different locations can have differing effects.One possible sweet spot is the center of percussion, which is the location where the ball may impact the bat without causing a reaction force on the hand. An impact at any other location can cause the handle to feel like it is jumping in the hand.Another possible sweet spot is a location called a vibrational node. The impact of the ball causes the bat to vibrate in waves that have dead spots, or nodes. Multiple waves occur at the same time, but the two largest waves both have nodes close to each other about 6.5 inches from the bat's end. Hitting the ball here results in small vibrations. Large vibrations can potentially take energy away from the ball and be painful to the hand.A third location of interest is the bat's center of mass, which is located by balancing the bat horizontally. The sweet spot is usually located not at the center of mass, but somewhere between it and the end of the bat. The center of percussion, vibrational node, and center of mass are not generally the same location, but all are determined by the geometry, mass distribution, and material properties of the bat. The sweet spot preferred by batters appears to be close to the center of percussion and the vibrational nodes.Reference: http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/bats-new/bend-sweet.html Different batters have different opinions. Personally, my sweet spot is about 4 inches down from the far end of the bat.
A corked bat might help with hitting the ball a bit but because the mass of a corked bat is different then to a wooden bat that you would be hitting it with less mass witch means you won't be hitting that much home runs form a corked bat. plus the corked bat is illegal to use in professional baseball in America. so if you wanted more home runs don't use the corked bat.
