The ball because the Kinetic Energy transfers from the bat to the ball, increasing the movement and acceleration of the ball because of the Kinetic Energy transferred from the origin force (The bat)

Answer: The ball.

Explanation: Right before the impact, the bat will have a bigger acceleration than the ball (assuming that the ball is trowed softly), and after the impact, there will be some energy of the bat transferred to the ball. As the ball has a lot less mass than the bat, it is "easily" accelerated:

Remember that the second Newton's law says that:

F = m*a

So, after the impact, the ball has a greater acceleration than the bat (Also, if the bat had more acceleration than the ball, it will "push" the ball, but you can see that the ball "escapes" to the bat after the initial impact).

Why is it important to have a balanced centrifuge?
ratelena [41]

It is important to properly balance a centrifuge because an unbalanced machine can damage the rotor, cause catastrophic damage to the machine itself, or even injure or kill lab personnel working in the room. Balancing a centrifuge involves spreading the weight of the samples across the entire rotor.

A 1kg skateboard sits at the top of a ramp 20 fr off the ground . How much potential energy does it have ?
Finger [1]

Answer:

196J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of skateboard  = 1kg

Height off the ground  = 20m

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body above the ground.

It is mathematically expressed as:

      Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

     Potential energy  = 1 x 9.8 x 20  = 196J

How can you tell if one object has more mass than another does, on a planet without gravity
Serhud [2]

an object is more dense if there is more weight in the same area, its because of the amount of particles and the weight of the particles. eg, 1cm cubed of gold would weigh alot more than 1cm cubed polystyrene, so gold is more dense
