thanks a lot for helping me
i calculated both and got x_{A} - x_{B} = 600m
is this correct and even possible? cause how are they supposed to collide after 600m if Train A stops completely after 450m?
I calculated that they do collide but i don't know how to calculate where
How do I find out where they collide?
Train A travels 30seconds 450m
during that time Train B travels 150m (+200m) it is less , so they collide.
Ok I tried another equation
s=1/2 * (deltaV)² / a
s= 1/2 * (30m/s) ² / 1m/s²
s=1/2 * 900m²/s² / 1m/s²
s=1/2 * 900m/ 1
s=450m
is this correct? I would be so glad and happy if it was, usually I feel so dumb since I started university
Homework Statement
Train A travels with the velocity v= 30m/s, suddenly the driver sees another train ahead, Train B which travels with the velocity v=10m/s. Immediately Train A's driver starts the brakes ( a=1m/s²) while Train B still travels with its velocity. The moment A starts the brakes...
I am sorry, yes correct, my task is to find the velocity and the acceleration.
does your post mean that the two equations I've done are correct? so i could simply put in a t, for example t=2 and calculate it
