Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance a baseball travels is affected by air density. Hot, humid air is less dense than hot, dry air. This means that on a hot, humid day, the ball will experience less air resistance, allowing it to travel further. According to the temperature and dew point data provided, the difference in air density between hot, humid and hot, dry days is approximately 5%, which is reflected in choice B.
