What is the maximum distance the train can travel if it accelerates from rest until it reaches its cruising speed and then runs at that speed for 15 minutes?

d = vo*t + 0.5*a*(t**2)  ..........................(vo= initial speed = 0; a= acceleration; t=time, d = distance)

Vf  = vo  + a*t      (final speed, in this case it will be the cruising speed)


Since vo = 0 (starts from rest)

t = Vf/a

d = 0 + 0.5*a*((Vf/a)**2)

d =  (0.5/a)*(Vf)**2

a = 24545 miles/h2 = 10ft/s2


d1 =  (0.5/24545 miles/h2)*(120 mi/h)**2 = 0.293 miles

From cruising speed, distance traveled after 15 minutes (0.25h)

v = d/t ...................> d2 =v*t = <span>120 mi/h (0.25h)</span> = 30 miles

Maximum distance the train can travel,

D = d1 + d2 = 0.293 + 30  miles = 30.293 miles

A high speed train in japan travels a distance of 300 km in 3.60x10^3 seconds . What is the average speed of this train
Bezzdna [24]
83.33km per second.

Speed = distance ÷ time.

Speed = 300 ÷ 3.60000

Speed = 83.33km per second

hope that helps.
