It's because of the position of tectonic plates.
100 meters in 9.92 seconds,
=distance/time
=100m/9.92s
=10.0806 m/s
What is an example of how you can use scientific inquiry to solve a real life problem.

Answer:
The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down
On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis
Y axis
N- W = 0
N = W = mg
X axis
-Fr = m a
-μ N = m a
-μ mg = ma
a = μ g
a = - 0.32 9.8
a = - 3.14 m/s²
We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations
Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x
x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a
When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)
Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s
x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)
x= 35.8 m
The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m
