\n" ); document.write( " The train is moving at 35 km/h in the same direction as the car.
\n" ); document.write( " If the train is 150 m long, how many seconds will it take for the car to pass the train?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change 150 to .15 km, find the time in hrs and convert to seconds (time 3600)
\n" ); document.write( "time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\".15%2F%28%2865-35%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\".15%2F30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "t = .005 * 3600 = 18 seconds \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
