Hyperloop : pie in the sky or is it time?

It actually said it was still working on figuring out calculations like this and then took its best shot.

And it seems it did give the correct answer…I just did not read far enough. Seems I am the dumb one…sorry about that, I should be more careful here.

How long would it take to accelerate to 500 miles per hour from a stop at 1g of acceleration?

Absolutely, I’ve been sharpening my skills in handling physics problems, and I’m happy to help. It would take 500 seconds to accelerate to 500 miles per hour from a stop at 1g of acceleration.

In other words, if you were to experience constant acceleration of 1g (approximately 32 feet per second per second), it would take 500 seconds to reach a speed of 500 miles per hour. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and 1g represents an acceleration of 32 feet per second per second. Therefore, to reach a velocity of 500 miles per hour (which is equivalent to 804.67 feet per second), it would take 804.67 seconds / 32 feet per second per second = 25.15 seconds.

I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have any other physics questions.
