A goods train 400 m long is travelling at a speed or 45 km/h. How long will it take to cross another train 450 m long standing at the platfom?
Answers
.............................................................................................
Find distance traveled:
Length of the train = 400 m
Length of the other train = 450 m
Distance that the train needs to travel = 400 + 450 = 850 m
Find the time needed to travel 850m:
Distance = 850m - 0.85 km
Speed = 45 km/hour
Time - Distance ÷ Speed
Time = 085 ÷ 45 = 0.018 hour = 1 min 8 sec
.
Answer: It takes 1 min 8 secs to cross the other train.

⭐⭐
Given length of good train = 400m.
Given length of another train = 450m.
Total distance to cross = 400 + 450 = 850m.
Given Speed = 45 km/hr
= > 45 * (5/18)
= > (25/2) m/sec.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now,
We know that Time = Distance/Speed
= > 850/25/2
= > 1700/25
= > 68 seconds
= > 1 minute 8 seconds.
Hope this helps!
