Baseball Teams

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What is the optimal angle for hitting a baseball to achieve maximum distance?

Back

The optimal angle is around 45 degrees.

Front

How does altitude affect the distance a baseball travels?

Back

Higher altitudes decrease air resistance, allowing the ball to travel further.

Front

What does the coefficient of restitution measure in baseball?

Back

It measures the elasticity of the collision between the bat and ball.

Front

What scientific law explains the behavior of a baseball bouncing off a bat?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Momentum.

Front

What is the role of air resistance in baseball?

Back

Air resistance slows down the baseball as it travels through the air.

Front

What is the definition of momentum?

Back

Momentum is the quantity of motion an object has, calculated as the product of its mass and velocity.

Front

What is the effect of a higher bat swing angle on a baseball's distance?

Back

A higher angle can reduce distance due to increased air resistance.

Front

What is the definition of elasticity in the context of baseball?

Back

Elasticity refers to the ability of an object to return to its original shape after being deformed.

Front

How does temperature affect a baseball's performance?

Back

Higher temperatures can increase the distance a baseball travels due to lower air density.
