Complete question is;

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?

A) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

B) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

D) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C. This is because unlike in a pry bar, the effort force when swinging a baseball bat is larger and it is applied over a short distance; and in return the resisting force is smaller and it's applied over a long distance.
