Two trains 150m and 160m long are going in the same direction at 42 km and 73 km per hour respectively.How long will it take to pass each other?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The faster train has to travel from the point when its front is adjactent to the slower train's rear until the faster train's reas is adjactent to the slow train's front.
\n" ); document.write( "That's 150 + 160 meters = 310 meters = 0.31 km
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "The difference in speed is 73 - 42 = 31 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r = 0.31/31 = 0.01 hours
\n" ); document.write( "= 36 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "
