La distancia que existe entre las bases de un campo de béisbol es de 28 m. Si la pelota se batea por la línea en dirección a la tercera base con una velocidad de 32 m/s. ¿Con qué rapidez cambia la distancia entre la pelota y la primera base cuando se encuentra a la mitad del camino hacia la tercera base?

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
