I hope I'm not too late.

GPE = mass * gravity * height

GPE = 2 kg * 9.8 m/s * 10

GPE = 196 Joules

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be $v_{AT}=v_A-v_T$ (the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed), where $v_A$ is the speed of the automobile and $v_T$ the speed of the train.

So we have $v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h$ .

So the train (anyone in fact) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

$t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s$

And in that time the car would have traveled (relative to the ground):

$d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km$

If they are traveling in opposite directions, we have to do all the same but using $v_{AT}=v_A+v_T$ (the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed), so repeating the process:
