Answer 204148 from Length and distance\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Speed is defined as Distance per unit Time i.e S = D / T\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thereore D = S X T\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The differnce between the speed of the two trains is 40 - 35 = 5 km/h \n" ); document.write( "The time difference is 1 hr\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thus, S= 5 km/h and T = 1 hr\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = S X T\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = 5 X 1\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D = 5 km \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the faster train will catch the slower train in 5 km. \n" ); document.write( " |
