in baseball, if the ball is pitched faster, when it is hit will it go farther?

Question

if you hit lets say a 70 mph pitch with the same force as you hit an 80 mph pitch, would the 80 mph pitch go farther?

Sorry kelso, but guys are actually stronger. Around pubertal years, guys start to become increasingly stronger then girls. Guys have over 20x (yes, 20x!) more testosterone then girls, which allows them to easily build muscle mass..Guys are stronger..

Answer 1

Yes. basic laws of linear momentum and elastic collisions. momentum = mass(velocity), momentum is always conserved so either swinging the bat faster or having the pitch be faster would cause the ball's velocity to be higher and thus travel a farther distance.

Answer 2

Yes. Without all of the scientific wording, imagine throwing a ball at half speed against a brick wall. Then throwing it at full speed. The full speed throw will bounce back further.

Now the bat is like the wall. The motion of swinging the bat is basically a moving wall. The act of matching a faster pitch to a faster swing will make the ball fly further.

Answer 3

attempt hitting a ball being pitched to you as far as you may... then do the comparable element from a T-ball stand... there's a differance. simply by fact the ball is obtainable in you will hit it and the ball will deform(the bat will too) and the bounce off the bat (only like a bouncy ball or tennis ball, it truly is in straight forward terms harder to be sure with a base ball) The extra the ball deforms the swifter it is going to return and forth far off from the plate. in case you swing your bat on the comparable velocity once you hit a ball traving at 60 vs one hundred mil/hr the one hundred mile/hr ball will deform extra and get extra spring to it. subsequently it is going to return and forth farther. quite often the swifter the ball is obtainable in, the swifter it is going to flow out. And the swifter you swing the swifter it is going out. however the genuine clarification why you desire to swing quicker at a quickly ball is which you truly desire to hit it. it's going to be over the plate very at as quickly as after it leaves the pitchers hand, subsequently you will might desire to flow you bat very quickly to fulfill it there. additionally it can't do any element loopy like a curve ball or substitute up or any element like that, so which you would be able to swing as difficult as you like on account which you recognize the place it is going to be. So definite whilst it includes a quickly ball, SWING AWAY, and swing difficult.

Answer 4

yes. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So your power is the same but the power supplied by the pitch is fast therefore goes out faster and further.

Answer 5

also, think girls softball. slow-pitch field positions, the outfield plays only so far back, whereas fast-pitch, the outfield plays way far back. for the same age brackets. also why guys can play slow-pitch softball in a small softball field, if they were playing baseball the field would need to be bigger. they're not any stronger or weaker.

Answer 6

I just saw this, and I had to answer it.
To quote a fake music video off of Bill Nye the Science Guy, just slightly different...
"The faster you throw it, the further it goes...you're adding velocity......"

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

yes it would if u hit the same spot on the bat and had same conditions
