Two trains 9

A passenger train moving at a speed of 90 km/h leaves a station 6 hours after a goods (freight) train has left the station and overtakes it in 4 hours. What is the speed of the goods train?

Final Answer:

v2 =  36 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

v1=90 km/h t1=6 h t2=4 h  s1=s2  v1 t2=v2 (t1+t2) 90 4=v2 (6+4)  10v2=360  v2=10360=36  v2=36=36 km/h
