Two trains run in the opposite direction with speeds of v1 = 15 m / s and v2 = 20 m / s. A passenger on the first train (the one on v1) notes that train 2 takes 6 s to pass on its side. What is the length of the second train? (The passenger is supposed to be immobile looking through the window)

Respuesta :

Answer:

210 m

Explanation:

The speed of train 2 relative to train 1 is 15 m/s + 20 m/s = 35 m/s.

It takes 6 seconds for the train to pass, so the length of the train is:

(35 m/s) (6 s) = 210 m
