Angular momentum linear momentum

[nos]

Hi all,

If one were to hit a ball with a baseball bat on the far end of the bat, you could say that angular momentum is translated to linear momentum.(bat stops spinning, ball gains momentum).

how do i translate angular momentum to linear momentum?

thanks

Relative to your hands the ball does have angular momentum, additionally unless your muscles exert some external force on the bat it more than likely will continue to rotate.
