a train traveling 110m long is traveling at 60 km/hr
in what time it will cross a cyclist moving at 6km/hr
:
Change 110 m to .110 km
:
a) in the same direction
t = .110%2F%2860-6%29 * 3600; changed hrs to seconds
t = 7.33 seconds
:
b) in the opposite direction
t = .110%2F%2860%2B6%29 * 3600
t = 6 seconds
