Passenger 5317

Two trains are traveling towards each other on parallel tracks, one at a speed of 34 km/h and the other at a speed of 47 km/h. A passenger sitting on the second train noticed that the first train passed him in 6 seconds. How long is the first train?

Correct answer:

x =  135 m

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=34 km/h v2=47 km/h t=6 s v=(v1+v2)/3.6=(34+47)/3.6=245=22.5 m/s x=v t=22.5 6=135 m
