Convert the speed from km / h to m/s.
Change in speed = (Final speed (in m/s) - initial speed (0))/ 3.7 s
The result is the average acceleration in m / s^2.
100 km /h = (100 000 m)/ (3600 s)= 27.7778 m/s

    A train leaves Middelburg at 09:00 and arrives in Johannesburg at 11:00 having traveled a distance of 180 km. Find the average speed of the train in m/s.

    Journey time 2hrs = 2 x 60 mins = 2 x 60 x 60 seconds
    Distance 180 km = 180,000 m
    Average speed = 3 x 6 x 10000 / 2 x 6 x 6 x 100 m/s
    = 6 x 6 x 100 x 100 / [2 x (2 x 6 x6 x100)] m/s
    = 100 / 4 m/s
    = 25 m/s

    HOW USE TACHYMETER & WHAT TACHYME3TER MEANS

    A Tachymeter helps you estimate the speed you are going.

    It uses the basic formula that speed = Distance/time

    Here is how to use it: (For the full article see the link below)

    To use tachymeter, simply start the chronograph or stopwatch when the object measured passing the starting line. When the object reaches the next mile or kilometer marker, stop the chronograph or stopwatch. The point on the tachymeter scale that adjacent to the second hand of the watch indicating the speed (in miles per hour or kilometers per hour) of object traveling between the two points.

    For example, we want to measure the average speed of a vehicle is moving. Start the chronometer or stopwatch function when the car passes the starting line, and stop the timer after the vehicle traveled exactly 1 mile or 1 kilometer. Then look at where the chronometer hand (the second hand of the watch) is pointing to, and get the reading or value of the corresponding number at the tachymeter bezel or dial. Let's say the stopwatch stop at 3 o'clock position, meaning 15 seconds had elapsed for the car to travel 1 mile or 1 kilometer. At 3 o'clock position, the tachymetre value shows that number of 240, which means the average speed of the vehicle was 240 mph or km/h.

    I have a 2001 nissan pathfinder 4w. The OBD system-readiness status: Says catalytic converters, NOT READY; oxygen sensors, NOT READY; evaporative system, NOT READY. So did not pass inspection, I was told...

    You have to re-set the obd via using Nissan's approved drive-cycle which is;

    1. Start the engine when the engine coolant

    temperature gauge needle points to C. Allow

    the engine to idle until the gauge needle

    points between the C and H (normal operating

    temperature).

    2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88

    km/h), then quickly release the accelerator

    pedal completely and keep it released for at

    least 6 seconds.

    3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for a

    moment, then drive the vehicle at a speed

    of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96 km/h) for at least

    5 minutes.

    4. Stop the vehicle.

    5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55 km/h)

    and maintain the speed for 20 seconds.

    6. Repeat steps 4 through 5 at least 3 times.

    7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88 km/h)

    and maintain the speed for at least 3 minutes.

    8. Stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.

    9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one more

    time.

    If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat the

    preceding step. Any safe driving mode is acceptable

    between steps. Do not stop the engine

    until step 7 is completed. If you cannot or

    do not want to perform the driving pattern, a
    NISSAN dealer can conduct it for you.

    What are the numbers on face plate for(likes 60,65,....900,1000)?

    The ones associated with the little circles? One dial is for seconds, one for minutes, and one for hours. The seconds one should be applicable for time. The minute and hour, along with the big seconds hand that is centre mounted are for the chronograph function.

    Excel will not displaying the results of a trend array formula

    Hi Griffnz,

    Your "known Y's" or 'values' are in Column B. This is the first array in the Trend formula.

    Your "known X's" or 'months' are in Column A. This is the second array in the trend formula.

    The trend formula is supposed to give you a projection of what the rest of the values in Column B will be over the next few months (usually continuing cells in Column A). The cells you want these values to show up in represent the third array in the formula.

    Thus, your formula should look more like: '=trend(B3:B14,A3:A14,A15:A18)'

    However, your formula is leaving out The values in B and adding values from C - -- but there ARE no values in C. Apparently, C is where you want the values to appear. In that case, the C array would be the third array in your formula. This would look more like '=trend(B3:B14,A3:A14,C3:C14)

    If this doesn't make sense, let me know.
