Brief Explanations
To determine the type of energy involved when Wilson swings the bat and hits the ball, we recall the definitions of potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy (e.g., due to position), while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When Wilson swings the bat and the ball moves, both the bat and the ball are in motion. So, the energy associated with this motion is kinetic energy.
