Question
when a batter swings a baseball bat, the bat has...
a. kinetic energy
b. gravitational energy
c. potential energy
Brief Explanations
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When the bat is swinging, it is in motion. Gravitational energy is related to an object's height in a gravitational field. Potential energy is stored energy (e.g., elastic potential energy in a stretched spring or gravitational potential energy due to height). Since the bat is moving, it has kinetic energy.
