Homework Statement
An assembly line has a staple gun that rolls to the left at 1.0 m/s while the parts to be stapled roll past it to the right at 3.0 m/s. The staple gun fires 10 staples per second. How far apart are the staples?
Homework Equations
I am lost but I still came up with an answer.
The Attempt at a Solution
sq rt of ((1.0 m/s)^2+(3.0m/s)^2)
I got 3.16 m/s
So because there are 10 staples per second there are 0.32 meters between each staple.
PLEASE HELP..Thanks in advance.
