Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is:
Hint: The difference in the trains' velocities might be regarded as 'rate' in this exercise![]()
How did you get that?It's A Distance, Rate, Time problem
How?You know the distance is twice the length of each train...
Distance=speed x timeYou know the rate is 10 km/Hr
You know the Time is 36 seconds
You know the distance is twice the length of each train...
As per the stipulation:How?
Two trains of equal length...
You may regard 'speed', 'velocity' and 'rate' as synonymous for these purposes onlyDistance=speed x time
formulaIt's A Distance, Rate, Time problem
You know the rate is 10 km/Hr
You know the Time is 36 seconds
You know the distance is twice the length of each train...
Yes, however only in this context for 'speed' and 'velocity'!!! --- 'Rate' and 'speed', however, are generally synonymous...synonymous having the same meaning as another word or phrase in the same language.
Ok
You already know the formula -- you have stated it several timesformula
That is indication of good personalities.HP, I truly admire your patience.
Lemme tell ya! It's a necessity for anyone stepping into the role of an educator...That is indication of good personalities.
Congratulations! -- You've just earned another 'Miller'You know the rate is 10 km/Hr
You know the Time is 36 seconds
You know the distance is twice the length of each train...
ok, speed in mtr/sec will be 10 x 5/18= 2.77mtrs/sec
D = 2.77x36=100metrs
which is double so length i s50metrs
