Hi,
I've been wondering is there anyway of calculating the angular speed of a ball after there is a collision of it and another mass. For example a baseball bat hitting the ball. I have not looked up on angular momentum, but is angular momentum involved in this? Based on common sense, I think that the spin of the baseball is made from the friction between the baseball and the bat. Is this true?
Which area/concept of physics is involved in this calculation?
Thanks
