Question

The hyper-loop is a proposed concept that involves a train traveling at 360 meters per second. How long does it take to travel one mile?

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 4.47 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a train, v = 360 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the train to cover 1 mile. For this first we must know 1 mile equal to how many meters.

1 mile = 1609.34 m

Let t is time.

Speed = distance/time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609.34\ m}{360\ m/s}\\\\t=4.47\ s$

So, it will take 4.47 seconds to travel one mile.
