CAIRO (AP) — The head of Sudan’s army made a rare public speech Monday in his first tour outside of the capital since the conflict with a rival general erupted in mid-April.Sudan was plunged into chaos after monthslong tensions between the military, led by Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, exploded into open fighting on April 15.

Is it really easier to hit a home run at Coors Field?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:09:18 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- While it may not seem like it with the Rockies record this year, it is scientifically easier to hit a home run at Coors Field. But it's not necessarily a home-field advantage. Like most phenomena in Denver, it has to do with the altitude of the Mile High City. Coors Field is known as an "easier field" because it hit a record-setting 303 home runs in 1999, according to the Colorado Rockies website. The Rockies estimated that a home run hit 400 feet in Yankee Stadium (sea-level) would travel as far as 440 feet in Denver. Rockies have lowest attendance in 10 years at regular home game CU Boulder looked into the physics of why it's easier to hit a home run at Coors Field. Peter Hamlington, associate professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, explains that it's because the atmospheric pressure is about 20% less than a park at sea level. With less air resistance, the ball can go further. "Baseballs do travel farther at Coors Field than at ...
