Question
- a baseball player is practicing their swing. which elevation would the bat have less air resistance?
air pressure
there is less air resistance at a higher elevation.
there is less air resistance at a lower elevation.
the air resistance is the same at both high and low elevations
air resistance has no effect on a bat only on flat materials like parachutes
Brief Explanations
Air resistance depends on air density. Higher elevation has lower air density (as shown in the diagram). Lower density means fewer air molecules for the bat to collide with, resulting in less air resistance.
