Platfrom 9 and 3/4's
Say train X leaves station A for Station B at
Additional info: Train X is travelling at 50km/h and Y at 20km/h
M / the km travelled within an hour = the time required to attain M distance
Hence,
The point at which both trains intersect would be:
M/50 = (100-M)/20
Train X would take T time to travel 71.42km
In the eventuality that train X and Y leave at different times, the position of the train that leaves first would have to be quantified first. Using the above example, if train Y instead left at
So Train X would intersect train y after travelling a total of 85.714km. And it would have taken T time to attain this distance:
85.71/50 = 1.714 hours
This is right, right? I never did any physics or anything in highschool, but I decided to try solve this problem since I was thinking about it.
Comments please Physics students!
