Answer:
x=2.4t+4.9t^2
Explanation:
This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:
X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2
We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.
X=0+Vt+1/2at^2
Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.
X=Vt+4.9t^2
Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.
Now, substitute in your velocity value.
X=2.4t+4.9t^2

Average speed of transit train is 60 mph</h2>
Explanation:
Average speed of passenger train = 45 mph
Time taken from station A to station B for passenger train = 10:00 - 6:00 = 4 hours
Distance between station A to station B = 45 x 4 = 180 miles.
Time taken from station A to station B for transit train = 4 - 1 = 3 hours
Distance between station A to station B = Average speed of transit train x Time taken from station A to station B for transit train
180 = Average speed of transit train x 3
Average speed of transit train = 60 mph
Average speed of transit train is 60 mph
