Railroads made travel between towns and cities easier and faster. Before the popularization of railroads, each area had it's own time based on noon being when the sun was straight up in the sky. This led to some confusion about travel times and such, so they made set time zones for areas to group together under.
What else can I help you with?
Can time be measured in distance?
No Duh!!. You can't measure time .You people are dumb
Why is acceleration measured in meters seconds squared?
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, that is the finishing velocity minus the starting velocity divided by the time taken for that change. Velocity is the rate of change in distance, that is the finishing distance minus the starting distance divided by the time taken for that change. Distance may be measured in metres and time in seconds. In that case velocity would be measured in metres per second. Acceleration is then measured in (metres per second) per second or metres per second2.
How did the gold rush expand the American economy?
the gold rush made people move out to Cali because everyone wanted gold. This brought the railroad into play to move people around; therefore making the time change
Was Harriet Tubman almost captured during her time in the underground railroad?
No she wasn't, because she knew shortcuts to where to go to when she was leading people to the Underground Railroad.
What is the average angular speed formula and how is it calculated?
The average angular speed formula is: Average Angular Speed (Change in Angle) / (Change in Time) It is calculated by dividing the change in angle (measured in radians) by the change in time (measured in seconds). This gives the average rate at which an object rotates or moves in a circular path over a certain period of time.
How is the reaction rate measured in chemical reactions?
The reaction rate in chemical reactions is measured by monitoring the change in concentration of reactants or products over time. This can be done by measuring factors such as the amount of gas produced, color change, or temperature change. The rate of reaction is typically expressed as the change in concentration per unit time.
What changes did the railways bring to the time that people set their clocks and watches?
Railroad standard time. The origin of the time zones around the world.
What changes did the railways bring to the time that people set their clocks and watches.?
Railroad standard time. The origin of the time zones around the world.
What is jerk measured in?
Jerk is measured in (distance) per (unit of time) cubed; for example, feet/second cubed.
What is change in velocity of a moving body in unit time called?
Acceleration. This is measured in metres per second per second. As you pointed out in the question this is change in velocity (or speed) over a specific time period. The equation for acceleration is: Acceleration (m/s/s) = delta v (change in velocity measured in m/s) / delta t (change in time measured in seconds)
What is railroad time?
Standard Time Zones created by the railroad industry in the 1880's rather than solar time.
What unit is movement measured in?
Movement is typically measured in distance units such as meters, feet, or kilometers. In the context of physics, movement can also be measured in terms of velocity (distance traveled per unit of time) or acceleration (change in velocity per unit of time).
