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

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with
Lisa [10]
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
                                     0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Len [333]
The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency. 

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. 

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.
