question: 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.
Claim: Batter B is likely to hit the ball a greater distance than Batter A because swinging the bat directly behind the ball allows for more force and a better transfer of energy to the ball, leading to increased distance.
