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 2-3 sentences, create and justify a claim about which batter will likely hit the ball the greater distance.(2 points)
Batter B is likely to hit the ball a greater distance than Batter A. This is because the bat's contact with the ball will be more direct and at a higher speed, resulting in a stronger force that propels the ball forward.
