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 of 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?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE FOR 5 HOURS AND I STILL DONT KNOW THE 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.

Explanation:

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
