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

The increase of kinetic energy at the square of the speed of your vehicle has a major influence on all motor vehicles in three p
Viktor [21]

This implies that stopping distance and impact force grow as a function of speed. The best ways to improve manoeuvrability and lessen crash severity are to drive at an appropriate pace and to slow down as soon as you spot dangers in front of you.

Keep in mind that stopping distance increases with speed; at 50 mph, it is four times longer than at 25 mph, and at 75 mph, the force of impact is nine times greater.

<h3>What is the impact of speed on kinetic energy ?</h3>

When your car expends or absorbs energy to speed up or slow down, you may feel a pull or a jolt, called impulse. Impulse increases as the energy or force increases, and increases as the duration of the force decreases. You'll feel a harder jolt if you speed up or slow down suddenly.

  • Consider: coming to a stop from 60 mph in ten seconds doesn't hurt you or your vehicle because the force of this event is spread out over a long time. But if you hit a wall and come to a stop in just half a second, you'll feel twenty times the impulse, causing severe damage.

Tires of a Bigfoot truck has a diameter of 2.2 m. If it rotates 60 revolutions find distance travel on the road.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

s = 414.7 m\\

Explanation:

The relationship between the linear distance covered by an object and its angular displacement is given by the following formula:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance traveled on road = ?

r  radius of tires = diameter/2 = 2.2 m/2 = 1.1 m

θ = angular displacement = (60 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 377 rad

Therefore,

s = (1.1 m)(377 rad)\\s = 414.7 m

which of the four forces makes paint cling to a wall ?which force makes adhesive sticky?which force makes wax to stick a car ?
True [87]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the absence of options.

However, <u>the force that makes a paint cling to a wall is adhesive force</u>. Adhesive force is the force between two unlike substances like a liquid clinging to a solid surface.

The force between adhesives or glue is also the force that makes them sticky. <u>This force is referred to as cohesive force</u>. This is a force found in between similar molecules (unlike adhesive force found between dissimilar molecules).

<u>The force that makes wax to stick to a car is electromagnetic force</u>. This is a force between charged particles; whether they appear to be moving or not. These particles of opposite charges come together to form a neutral force. In this case, charged atoms of the car and the wax come together (which causes what we see as the wax sticking to the car).

A fast pitch softball player does a "windmill" pitch moving her hand through a vertical circular arc to pitch a ball at 70mph. T
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The hand throwing ball moves on a circular path having radius r = .55 m

mass of ball m = .19 kg

velocity v = 70 mph

= 70 x 1600 / 60 x 60

= 31.11 m /s

centripetal force

= mv² / r

= .19 x 31.11² / .55

= 334.34 N
