Landscape 82339

Soňa is sitting on the train, looking out the window, and what she doesn't see is that the landscape runs backward at a constant speed of 160 km/h, and on the side track, the train is seemingly backing up at a constant speed of 40 km/h. Sonia stops and wonders for a moment which direction and how fast the other train is actually going. Do the math, too.

Correct answer:

v2 =  120 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=160 km/h Δ=40 km/h  v2=v1+Δ=160+(40)=120 km/h
