A train leaves the station and travels 21.62 km. The train had an average velocity of 36.0 m/s How much time passed in order for the train to travel the 22.62 km and what is the velocity of the train in mi/hr?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

so, what is the distance now ?

21.62 km or 22.62 km ?

the speed was 36 m/s.

for 21.62 km

21.62 km = 21,620 m

21,620 / 36 = 600.5555555... s

for 22.62 km

22.62 km = 22,620 m

22,620 / 36 = 628.3333333... s

so, it took the train either

600.5555555... seconds = 600 5/9 seconds

or

628.3333333... seconds = 628 1/3 seconds

if you need minutes divide that by 60.

if you need hours divide that by 3600.

now to transform 36 m/s into miles/hour.

1 hour = 3600 seconds

1 mile ≈ 1609.344 meters

so, as first step

36 m/s to mi/s :

36/1609.344 mi/s = 0.022369363... mi/s

the second step

0.022369363... mi/s to mi/h

0.022369363... × 3600 = 80.52970651... mi/h

the speed is 80.52970651... mi/h.

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

rate * time = distance

36 m/s  * t  = 21620 m      ( converted  km to m)

t = 600.56 seconds  = ~ 10 minutes    = 1/6 hr

21.62 km = 13.43 miles

13.43 miles / ( 1/6 hr ) = 80.6 mi/hr
