Maglev, a vehicle that glides above a magnetic field without touching a track, make a 624-mile trip in 4 hours. What is the speed of the vehicle?

The speed of the vehicle is 156 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the Maglev, that is, a vehicle who works on the principle of superconductive magnetic levitation, moves at constant speed. Hence, the speed of the vehicle (), in miles per hour, is defined by this kinematic model:

(1)

Where:

- Travelled distance, in miles.

- Time, in hours.

If we know that and , then the speed of the vehicle is:

The speed of the vehicle is 156 miles per hour.
