It involves pushing, gravity, and friction.
In baseball, a player is considered to be sliding when they run towards a base and drop to the ground in order to avoid being tagged out. Sliding is used as a technique to reach a base safely and is commonly seen when a player is running to a base that is being defended by an opposing player with the ball.
If the center of gravity of an object falls below its support base, it is in stable equilibrium. If the center of gravity falls outside the support base, it is in unstable equilibrium. You can determine the stability by assessing the relationship between the object's center of gravity and its base of support.
The center of gravity of an object must be directly above its base of support in order to prevent tipping over. If the center of gravity is outside of the base of support, the object will be unstable and likely to tip.
The center of gravity of an object is one factor in determining the stability of the object. The lower the center of gravity, the more stable the object. Other factors must be used for the prediction such as the shape of the base and overall structure.
The relationship between the center of gravity and support base for an object in stable equilibrium is that the center of gravity must lie within the support base. This ensures that the gravitational force acting on the object does not create a torque that would cause it to tip over. A wider base increases stability by providing a larger area for the center of gravity to fall within.

A base coaches job in baseball is to give signals to the runners of what to do for example stealing, stopping at that base, going to the next base, or sliding. there is a base coach for first base and there is one at third base. if the runner is on second they would listen to the third base coach.
Yes, I have personally used it and it is very reliable. It uses a beanbag type of base that acts like a boui and prevents the gps from sliding on the dashboard or falling over.
Sliding helps you get to a base when the ball is being thrown to the person covering that certain base. You slide to get under the ball so they have a harder time tagging you.
In baseball, when a player is running the bases, if he or she is touching any base (usually with a foot, although a person sliding into base might use a hand instead) that player safe, meaning, he or she cannot be tagged out, and will not be out if the baseball is caught and thrown to the catcher. He or she can remain at the base, and can continue running the next time the baseball is hit, by the next player who is up.
You will have to practice sliding to know what this distance is for you. It is different for everyone. I started my slide when i was about 6or 7 feet away form the base.
Because the First Baseman can not block the base path, the catcher can. He can stand his ground and hit you like a football player if you let him. Sliding lets you slip underneath the tag and out of the catcher's way.
Home base is the same as "sliding into home base." In simpler terms, it means "going all the way" or basically, sex.
Most novices and experts alike think the answer is no. Sliding into first base does not make you reach the base any faster. Doing this has to be one of the least intelligent moves in all of sports. For those who aren't aware, the rules of baseball require the runner to run from home to first and touch, but not remain on, first base. So the idea is to run as fast as you can for those 90 feet and not slow down until after your foot hits the base. Sliding is only required when you're trying to avoid a tag (at second, third or home) and when you need to remain touching the base. Sliding is not going to get you to first any faster despite what some say. As soon as you dive to start the slide you are actually already slowing down due to air resistance in addition to the fact that as soon as your body hits the ground your body is slowed down almost immediately. Its like throwing on the brakes. This is in comparison to continuing to run in which a runner will maintain their top speed all the way through the bag. Please people, this is really quite an easy thing to see if you just use your heads. Trust the science. It's never wrong. There was recently a segment of show from Sports Science that discussed this and broke it down with scientific test and slow motion cameras. By diving into a base you initially get ahead of where you would be if running, however, the friction of sliding slows you down about 50% so in the last 6 feet before the bag you actually get to the base faster by running through the bag. I know there will be a lot of people argue this fact.. but science is science. Now if you time you dive perfectly to where you can touch 1st base at the peak of full extension in your dive without sliding on the ground, then yes, diving would be faster. But runners DO NOT "superman dive" into 1st base the slide head first. The case for "maybe": There are numerous flaws in the armchair science of people who argue that the answer is clearly "no." For example, air resistance is a negligible factor in the difference between sliding into first base vs. running through. A greater impact is the friction between the ground and the base runner. Assuming the diving player times his slide correctly and does not hit the ground before touching first base, diving actually leads to *less* overall friction than does running. Furthermore, people often forget that the lunge immediately prior to a dive can actually provide brief acceleration (punctuated, of course, by a quick stop upon hitting the ground!). Finally, people who argue that sliding into first base is slower than running through often argue that "if it was faster to dive, sprinters in track and field meets would dive across the finish line." This argument is actually quite ridiculous when you think about it. The injury that would be caused by diving on a running track could be devastating to a runner. Unless it was the last race of his/her life, it would be extremely unwise for a track runner to dive across the finish line. In contrast, the dirt surface on a baseball field and ballplayers' durable uniforms are designed to allow runners to slide into bases without injury. These critiques suggest that it is unclear whether sliding or diving into first base is faster or slower than running through it. Perhaps the best argument against having ballplayers slide into first base, then, is the increased likelihood of hand, finger, and shoulder injuries from impact with the base.

Yes. There is no MLB rule that prohibits sliding or diving head first into any base.
The center of gravity of an object must be directly above its base of support in order to prevent tipping over. If the center of gravity is outside of the base of support, the object will be unstable and likely to tip.
