3) You are the lucky recipient of an awesome summer internship for a start-up company offering to build huge vacuum tubes for a "mega tube or tunnel" project in order to accommodate a future Hyperloop train connection between Washington D.C. and Boston, MA. The Hyperloop is a train that runs basically frictionless inside an evacuated tube; you read up on it online. To persuade a potential future investor the company realizes they need not only make a case for their own tube technology, but also need to make a case for the Hyperloop. So, they hired you for a comparison between the Hyperloop and the Amtrak! a. Compare the two trains as to travel time. b. Compare the energy expensed / work done by friction and air-resistance. c. Compare the energy expensed / work done by accelerating and braking. d. Compare the power consumption. e. Add any other comparison you'd like to include, and make a final recommendation as to which train technology is preferable.
