Question

Rafael swings a baseball bat with a force of 25 N. The baseball bat exerts a force of 5 N on the baseball. What is the mechanical advantage of the baseball bat? The mechanical advantage of the baseball bat is

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is defined as the ratio of force output with respect to the force input. Thus,

MA = output / input

MA = 5 / 25

MA = 1/5

MA = 0.2

Since this value is less then one. Even though it's tagged a mechanical advantage, in reality it would be mechanical disadvantage.

Therefore, we can say that the mechanical advantage of the baseball bat is 0.2
