two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 72 km/h in the same direction, with A ahead of B. the driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by 1 m/s2. if after 50 s the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them?

For train A:
Initial velocity, u = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Time, t = 50 s
Acceleration, a'= 0 (Since it is moving with a uniform velocity)
From second equation of motion, distance (s') covered by train A can be obtained as:
S = ut + 1/2 at^2
= 20 × 50 + 0 = 1000 m
For train B:
Initial velocity,
u = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Acceleration, a = 1 m/s^2
Time, t = 50 s
From second equation of motion, distance (s) covered by train A can be obtained as:
S = ut + 1/2 at^2
= 20× 50 + 1 × (50)^2 = 2250 m
Hence, the original distance between the driver of train A and the guard of train B = 2250 – 1000 = 1250 m.
I hope, this will help you
