In T-ball, batters hit a ball that is placed on a T-shaped stand. Batter A hits the ball by swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder. Batter B hits the ball with the bat directly behind it. In one or two sentences, create and justify a claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance.(2 points)

Batter B will likely hit the ball a greater distance because hitting the ball directly behind it allows for a more efficient transfer of momentum and energy from the bat to the ball.

A musician hits a drum with a drumstick. In three to four sentences, explain the collision forces between the drum and drumstick.

During the collision between the drum and the drumstick, there are two main forces at play: the applied force by the drummer and the reaction force by the drum. When the drumstick strikes the drum, the applied force generated by the musician accelerates the drumstick towards the drum. Simultaneously, the drum exerts an equal and opposite reaction force on the drumstick based on Newton's third law of motion. This reaction force allows the drum to absorb the impact and produces the sound we hear.
