Given that the subway stations are 930 m apart, the train have to be accerelated for half the distance and then decerelated for the rest of the distance.

Recall that the distance travelled by an object with an initial velocity, u, for a period of time, t, at an accereration, a, is given by
s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2

But, we assume that the train accelerates from rest, thus
s=\frac{1}{2} at^2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow465=\frac{1}{2}(1.74)t^2 \\  \\ \Rightarrow t^2=534.48 \\  \\  \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{534.48}=23.12

The maximum speed is attained at half the center of the distance between subway stations (i.e. at distance = 465 m).

Thus, maximum speed = distance / time = 465 / 23.12 = 20.11 m/s.

the area of a rectangle city park is 25/54 sqaure miles. the length of the park is 5/9 mile. what is the width in miles of the p
andreyandreev [35.5K]
A = lw

Plug in what we know:

25/54 = (5/9)w

Divide 5/9 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 9/5:

25/54 * 9/5 = w

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

225/270 = w

Simplify:

<span>w = 5/6</span>
