Does length of a baseball bat matter in how far one can hit the ball? (weight, speed, weight distribution being same)?

(weight, speed, weight distribution being same) initial research shows that the distance travelled by the ball depends on force exerted on it. Force, in turn, depends on speed and weight of the bat.

To some limited extent, yes. However, you'll have the trade-off of longer = heavier, and more weight will mean more pull on the muscles not spent swinging the bat. In general, the bat pivots at the wrists of the one swinging it.

The outside is moving faster than the inside. Thus, the more one can connect with the ball on the outside of the bat, the more kinetic energy one will imparting to the ball, with the above limitation, of course. Another limitation is control: most "outside" connects fly off into the right field foul area and count as a strike against the batter..

Yes, of course There is an optimum range of bat length for most players. Longer or shorter than this range limits the physics of the swing. The "speed of the bat" is measured where the ball strikes the bat.

Typically, if the ball strikes near the end of the bat, more force is exerted on the ball, than if the ball strikes the bat near the hands. That makes sence becase the end of the bat is travelling faster being on the outside of the arc of the swing. So a shorter bat, or the ball striking the bat closer to the hands will decrease the distance the ball will travel.

There is a limit to the length of the bat that will benefit the batter. A longer bat will require more power from the batter. The change in power required to swing a longer bat is not a linear equation.

The extra power needed to swing the longer bat will exceed the additional force communicated to the ball at some point, even if the weight and weight distribution remain the same. After that point, the batter will not be able to swing the bat fast enough to gain the same results as with a shorter bat. It takes more energy to move the end of the bat if it is farther away from you.It describes a larger circle and moves a farther distance.

The distance the ball travels also depends on the angle of incidence with the bat, the bat's motion, and the ball's motion.

Lololol Boy, You are into some physics here. It will involve (if you keep it simple), kinetic and potential energy and more serious math than I'm qualified to get wrong! Lol Try this site, a good one, if I'm any judge and I'm probably not!

1 I do not think the length of the bat would directly figure in the calculation of how far a batted ball would fly. But...in real life it indirectly may effect the ball flight as the length of the bat may have an effect on how quickly a batter can swing the bat/bat speed.

3 Just an educated guess: Mathmatically I would guess no. But other factors like lengthening the sweet spot and bat speed in real world use may provide more consistent distance when using a longer bat of the same weight. Typically adult bats are 34 inches and come in varied weights...lighter bats produce more bat speed and the trend has been for batters to go for lighter and lighter bats.

Though some batters still swing heavy bats...I know one batter is Alfonso Soriano who swings like a 35 inch 33 ounce bat which is very heavy for todays standards...a lof of hitters use 27 ounce or lighter bats...a batter must be naturally very fast to swing such a heavy bat.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
