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.

In the diagram below, the radii of the two concentric circles are 3 centimeters and 7 centimeters, respectively.
True [87]

Answer:

125.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of larger circle - area of the smaller circle

Area of the smaller circle = πr²

π = 3.14, r = 3 cm

Area of smaller circle = 3.14*3² = 3.14*9 = 28.26 cm²

Area of larger circle = πr²

π = 3.14, r = 7

Area of larger circle = 3.14*7² = 3.14*49 = 153.86 cm²

Area of the shaded region = 153.86 - 28.26 = 125.6 cm²
