Answer:
After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s
Solution:
As per the question:
Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m
Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:
y(t) = 60t
Now,
To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:
Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:
Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':
For t = 4 s:
