BRAINLIEST AND 20 POINTS FOR CORRECT ANSWER WITH EXPLAINATION!

Two trains left the cities A and B at the same time and headed towards each other. The cities are s miles apart. The first train was traveling at the speed of v1 mph. The second train was traveling at the speed of v2 mph. After t hours the two trains met each other. Find the formula for t in terms of s,v1 and v2. Then find the value of t if: s=310, v1 = 75, v2 = 80

The formula for t=s/(v₁+v₂), and the value of t is 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on relative speed.

For the two trains moving towards each other , the relative speed is the sum of their speeds.

Distance between the cities= s miles

Train 1 : speed is v₁ mph

Train 2: speed is v₂ mph

Time of meeting= t

Applying formula for speed, speed =distance/time

Time of meeting= Distance/relative speed

t=s/(v₁+v₂)

Given s=310, v₁=75 and v₂=80, then finding t

t=310/(75+80)

t=310/155 = 2 hrs
