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

An object falls a distance h from rest. If it travels 0.460h in the last 1.00 s, find (a) the time and (b) the height of its fal
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

A. Time, t = 4.35s

B. Height of its fall, S = 92.72m

Explanation:

Vo = 0 m/s

Vi = 0.46h m/s

S = h m

a = 9.81 m/s2

To calculate the time taken, we need to get the value of the distance, h.

Using the equations of motion,

Vi^2 = Vo^2 + 2aS

Where Vi = final velocity

Vo = initial velocity

a = acceleration due to gravity

S = height of its fall

(0.46h)^2 = 0 + 2*9.81*h

0.2116h^2 = 19.62h

h = 19.62/0.1648

= 92.722 m

To calculate the time,

S = Vo*t +(1/2)*a*t^2

92.772 = 0 + (1/2)*9.81*t^2

t^2 = 185.44/9.81

= 18.904

t = sqrt(18.904)

= 4.348 s

Current will travel along the path with the highest resistance. <br><br>true or false​
raketka [301]

True. Being an electrical engineer, you learn very quickly that current will take All paths of resistance. But, the higher the resistance the lower the voltage. So, if a high resistance is shorted and the current flows through the short, there will be some small voltage across it, so some small amount of current will still flow through the high resistance.

A tennis ball is dropped from 1.13 m above the
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

-4.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 1.13 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 1.13 m)

v = -4.71 m/s
