A "bullet" train set a new world record for train speed at
552
kilometers per hour during a manned test run on the Test Line in April 1999. The Test Line is
42.8
kilometers long. How many minutes would a test run on the Test Line last at this record-setting speed?

The researchers observed 249,613 impacts from 423 football players at nine colleges and high schools and collected collision data from participants in other sports. The accelerations during most head impacts (>89%) in helmeted sports caused head accelerations less than a magnitude of 400 m/s2m/s2. However, a total of 11 concussions were diagnosed in players whose impacts caused accelerations between 600 and 1800 m/s2m/s2, with most of the 11 over 1000 m/s2m/s2 Suppose that the magnitude of the head velocity change was 13 m/sm/s. Find time interval for the collision which would produce a possible concussion with an acceleration of 1000 m/s2m/s2?arrow_forwardYou start out by driving 118 miles south in 3 hours and 21 minutes, and then you stop and park for a while.
