What are the physics of baseball?

In: Science, Baseball History, Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

physics deals with projectile motion and collisions.

the ball is in projectile motion before and after it is hit.
the collision of the bat and the ball can be calculated to provide other information, like how much energy is lost when the collision occurs, and how much the ball will compress, and deform

physics can determine other aspects that will assist in understanding the situation better
