Ok So I have been wondering this for awhile.
Could someone help me find an equation to figure this out.
I play slowpitch softball and was curious about swing speed and the weight of the bat.
If we keep the mass of the ball constant (.198 kg), and the pitch speed constant (8.94 m/s), and have 4 different bats (22oz-24oz-26oz-28oz):(.624kg .680kg .737kg .794kg) that correspond with swing speeds (fastest swing speed for the lightest bat) let's call them 60mph-66.67mph-73.34mph-80mph:(26.82m/s-29.80m/s-32.79m/s-35.76m/s). so...
.624kg@35.76m/s - .680kg@32.79m/s - .737kg@29.80m/s - .794kg@26.82m/s.
So I guess I am trying to find the velocity of the ball after the collision with the bat (v1a).
At some point with a higher swing speed does the lighter massed bat become infective vs the higher massed bat even though the swing speed is higher??
Does anyone have an equation for this?? would it be...
(m1v1b + m2v2b = m1v1a + m2v2a) ?
Does anyone know how to find the velocity of the bat after collision.?
...is there a force equation for this?
m1: mass of ball (.198kg)
v1b: Velocity Of ball before collision (8.94m/s)
m2: mass of bat
v2b: velocity of bat before collision
v1a: velocity ball after collision
v2a: velocity bat after collision ((??)another equation??)
please help, thanks
