You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have a real life algebra problem.....what is the impact of a train traveling at 20 km/hr on a stationary vehicle? How would that force of gravity affect the passenger inside the vehicle?
--------------
That's hardly an algebra problem.
To make any use of math, you'd have to know the mass of the train, the mass of the car, the coefficient of friction between the car and the ground, the spacing of the railroad ties, what part of the ties were exposed above the fill, and some other factors.
--------
"what is the impact?" impact is not a math term
I don't think gravity is a factor, other than it keeps us on the surface of the Earth.
