I have been searching the web and have been unable as yet to find an answer to my problem. I am doing a physics project on the velocity of a baseball swing compared to the velocity of the pitch, therefore resulting in velocity of the ball off of the bat. I was wondering if you could help me out by giving me some equations i could use to find these different types of velocity. If so email back at me email address given above. Thanks >

Hi Ben Ferrell:

I have to agree with JJA here. Robert K. Adair's book will offer you insight into how to approach these problems.

Best of Luck,
