On May 26, 1934, a streamlined, stainless steel diesel train called the Zephyr set the world’s nonstop long-distance speed recor

d for trains. Its run from Denver to Chicago took 13 hours, 4 minutes, 58 seconds, and was witnessed by more than a million people along the route. The total distance traveled was 1633.8 km. What was its average speed in km/h and m/s?

Answer:

124.88 km/h

34.69 m/s

Explanation:

1633.8 km = 1633800 m

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13 + 4/60 + 58/3600 = 13.083 hours

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13*3600 + 4*60 + 58 = 47098 seconds

So the average speed in km/h is

1633.8 / 13.083 = 124.88 km/h

The average speed in m/s is

1633800 / 47098 = 34.69 m/s

Mrs. Paul and Dr. Mykannen ride a tandem bike on the beach. They ride along the beach for about 455 meters. Their final velocity
algol [13]

Answer:

Time = 80.91 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 5.50 m/s.

Distance = 445 meters

To find the time;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5.5 = 445/time

Time = 445/5.5

Time = 80.91 seconds

A chair of weight 70.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =
Annette [7]

Answer:

94.67 N

Explanation:

Consider a free body diagram with force, F of 41 N applied at an angle of 37 degrees while the weight acts downwards. Resolving the force into vertical and horizontal components, we obtain a free body diagram attached.

At equilibrium, normal reaction is equal to the sum of the weight and the vertical component of the force applied. Applying the condition of equilibrium along the vertical direction.  

\begin{array}{l}\\\Sigma {F_y} = 0\\\\N - W - F\sin \theta = 0\\\\N = W + F\sin \theta \\\end{array}

Substituting 70 N for W, 41 N for F and \theta for 37 degrees

N=70+41sin37=94.67441595  N and rounding off to 2 decimal places

N=94.67 N

Please help me! Uniform acceleration problem sheet:
Brrunno [24]

From the calculation, the value of the acceleration is 5.8 m/s^2.

<h3>What is uniform acceleration?</h3>

The term uniform acceleration refers to a situation in which the velocity increases by equal amounts in equal time intervals.

Given the fact that the car started from rest and reached a velocity of  780.34 mph or 348.84 m/s in 1 minute of 60 seconds;

v = u + at

a = v/t

a = 348.84 m/s/ 60 seconds

a = 5.8 m/s^2
