Concept explainers
Baseball runners Runners stand at first and second base in a baseball game. At the moment a ball is hit, the runner at first base runs to second base at 18 ft/s; simultaneously, the runner on second runs to third base at 20 ft/s. How fast is the distance between the runners changing 1 second after the ball is hit (see figure)? (Hint: The distance between consecutive bases is 90 ft and the bases lie at the comers of a square.)

- The second hand of a clock is 8 centimeters long. Find the linear speed of the tip of the second hand as it passes around the clock face.arrow_forwardConsidering that the consecutive dials on the natural gas meter rotate in opposite directions, what is the current reading in cubic feet of usage? The initial direction is clockwise.arrow_forwardA single-threaded (or single-start) square-thread screw is shown in Figure 5-6. The lead of a screw is the distance that the screw advances in one turn (revolution). The lead is equal to the pitch in a single-threaded screw. Given the number of turns and the amount of screw advance, determine the leads.arrow_forward
