3. Two Metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. Train A has a speed of 90 km/ hr, train B has a speed o

f 80 km/ hr. Initially, the two trains are 2.71 km apart. How long will it take the two trains to meet?
a. Write two complete equations that describe the position of: Train A:
Train B:
c. At what exact time will train A and train B be at the same position?
d. At what position is train A when it meets train B?
e. How far has train B travelled in this time?

Answer:he trains take 57.4 s to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for

Express the time in seconds.

Thus, the trains cross each other in 57.4 s.

W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules
