The speed of the goods train is V = 32 Km/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of train = 80 km/h
Time of passenger train leaving the station = 6 hours
Time of goods train to over take it = 4 hours
Total time taken = 6 +4 = 10 hours
Distance = same
Speed x time = Constant
80 x 4 = V ( 6 + 4)
320 = v x 10
V = 320 / 10
V = 32 Km/s
Hence the speed of the goods train is V = 32 Km/s
A train 300 m long is running with a speed of 54 km/hr. In what time will it cross a telephone pole?
