Answer:

60 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

You divide 300 by 5 and you get 60. You always need to divide the upper part to the lower part to reach the distance in ONE UNIT OF TIME. There, you have 5 seconds, yet you need the distance in 1 second.

This all is assuming that the train moved at a constant speed, where

ACCELERATION = 0, which is pretty improbable for a train.

A plumbers plastic pipe is 4 m long, has an inside diameter of 4.0 cm and an outside diameter of 5.0cm. What is the volume of th

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: $V=0.0028278\ m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the pipe $l=4\ m$

Inside diameter of the pipe $d_i=4\ cm$

Outside diameter of the pipe $d_o=5\ cm$

Volume of the pipe

$\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\pi }{4}[d_o^2-d_i^2]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{\pi}{4}[5^2-4^2]\times 10^{-4}\times 4\\\\\Rightarrow V=28.278\times 10^{-4}\ m^3\\\\\Rightarrow V=0.0028278\ m^3$
