They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.

Answer:

The batter and the fly ball have the same average velocity, i.e. no individual velocity is greater than the other.

Explanation:

First of all, it is worthy of note that in a baseball game, when the batter hits the ball, he is expected to immediately make a run in an attempt to catch the ball, by so doing, the batter has a greater chance of catching the ball before it hits the ground  and this is exactly what the batter has done in this practice.

1. The fly ball is hit and the batter runs immediately , this means the batter and the fly ball have the same start time t.

2. The batter catches the fly ball after certain time i.e. the same end time.

3. The batter runs in a straight line to catch the ball i.e. the displacement of both batter and fly ball from hit point to catch point is the same.

MATHEMATICALLY

D_{batter}  = D_{fly ball}

t_{batter}  = t_{fly ball}

Where D = Displacement and t = time

Average velocity  V = \frac{D}{t}

Where D_{batter}  = D_{fly ball}

and

t_{batter}  = t_{fly ball}

This means V_{batter}  = V_{fly ball}

The experiments will involve two billiard balls of known masses, m₁ and m₂, and velocities u₁ and u₂. The two are allowed to collide and the velocities of the balls after the collision v₁ and v₂ are recorded.

The momentum before and after the collision is then calculated as follows:

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

<h3>What is the statement of the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

The law of the conservation of momentum states that the momentum before and after collision in a system of colliding bodies is conserved

The momentum of a body is calculated using the formula below:

Momentum = mass * velocity.

Hence, for the two billiard balls, the momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

The apparent reversal of motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars is called
Free_Kalibri [48]

The planets move eastward against the background of fixed stars with the exception of Venus, Uranus and Pluto moving westward as seen in Earth's sky . This apparent retreating movement is called Retrograde motion. It is illusion created by Earth's movement going by outer planets in their respective orbits.
