1) The distance from Sam to third base is s = 40 + 15 t, the distance from Chris to third is c =30 - 20 t, where t is the time in seconds.\n\n2) The distance x between the two runners is given by Pythagoras.\nx^2 = s^2 + c^2 = 1600 + 1200 t + 225 t^2  + 900 - 1200 t + 400 t^2\nx^2 = 2500 + 625 t^2\nx = 25 * sqrt ( 4 + t^2)\n\n3) The rate of change v = dx/dt = 25 t/ sqrt ( 4 + t^2) \nThis is positive for t>0, but equals 0 for t=0. So at that particular moment the rate of change is zero.

How far the ball flies is based on several factors: bat speed (moment of inertia), mass of the bat (momentum), thickness. I think that the bat length is not a primary factor in distance but does come into play is some secondary ways: longer bat, greater coverage of the plate; longer bat, bigger "sweet spot" which allows the batter to err a little.

The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest recorded home run at 634 feet by Yankee great Mickey Mantle on Sept. 10, 1960, at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Many dispute the record as myth or claim that the ball actually landed and rolled to its resting point 634 feet away from home plate.

Absolute distance - take a ruler n measure the distance to a given object , usually , a far one .  If you happen to use mathematics and science , like measuring the luminous intensity , et al , there are some observational problems, n such a result is called an apparent measurement. That is what I have believed all these days...

The starting point for much of the action on the field is home plate, which is a five-sided white rubber slab 17 inches by 8 1/2 by 12 by 12 by 8 1/2 inches. Next to each of the two parallel 8 1/2 inch sides is a batter's box. The point of home plate where the two 12 inch sides meet at right angles, is at one corner of a ninety-foot square. The other three corners of the square, in counterclockwise order from home plate, are called first base, second base, and third base. Three canvas bags fifteen inches (38 cm) square mark the three bases. These three bags along with home plate form the four bases at the corners of the infield.

The basic layout of the diamond has been little changed since the original Knickerbocker Rules of the 1840s. The distance between bases was already established as 90 feet, which it remains to this day. Through trial and error, 90 feet had been settled upon as the optimal distance. 100 feet would have given too much advantage to the defense, and 80 feet too much to the offense. As athleticism has improved on both sides of the equation, 90 feet remains the appropriate balance between hitting and fielding, as it continues to provide frequent tests between the speed of a batter-runner and the throwing arm of a fielder.\n\nThe rules consist of twenty general guidelines to the rules of baseball. The organization for which the guidelines were drawn up was the early 1840s New York ball club called the Knickerbockers.\n\nMany of the rules, formalized by Alexander Cartwright on September 23, 1845, were derived from earlier sources, but their compilation by the Knickerbocker Club provided a basis for modern adult organized baseball, in contrast to the various schoolyard ball games that had been around for generations previous.

Earned Run Average, calculated by taking the total number of earned runs, divided by the number of innings pitched, and then multiplied by 9.  Measures how many runs not due to errors the pitcher is giving up on average in a 9-inning game.

There is no "fair" pole. There is, however, a "foul" pole. The length of the pole varies from park to park. If a batter hits the foul pole, it is counted as a home run.

In baseball statistics, slugging percentage (often abbreviated SLG) is a measure of the power of a hitter. It is calculated as total bases divided by at bats.\n\nSLG = (s + 2d + 3t + 4hr)/ AB or SLG = (h + d + 2t + 3hr) / AB, where AB is the number of at-bats for a given player, and s, h, d, t, hr, are the number of singles, hits, doubles, triples, and home runs, respectively

No, postseason statistics are a seperately kept statistic.  As an example, Hank Aaron holds the home run record with 755, but Mickey Mantle has the playoff record with 18.  Those 18, then, would not count toward his "regular" home run totals.\n\nI find that these statistics, especially for football, can be tough to find in an easy format online.

It's quite a distance from the hash-marks and crown of the field to the sidelines. If a play ends up close to the line to gain, the sticks are used to measure EXACTLY ten yards to aid the officials in making sure neither team is screwed by a bad spot.

The base paths of a standard softball field are 60 feet long.  The diamond as it is so called has four 60 feet paths and the distance between home plate and second base is a shade over 80 feet.  The pitchers rubber is 40 feet from home plate and generally flat (as opposed to a baseball mound which is raised).  There is no standard size for an outfield and they vary by location. A good rule of thumb would be to have fences that are 180 - 200 feet from home plate on the foul line and 220 to 230 or so in center field.  \n\nHope this is helpful

A homerun that is hit by the home team when they are either trailing or tied with their opponents in their final at bat.  After the home run is hit the home team wins the game and can "walk off" the field.  It can be hit in the bottom of the ninth or in the bottom half of an extra inning.
