Do you like my pfp and i also need help with some hw |
Answer» ANSWERS:Let speed of Train B = x 120/x= √(9/16) => x = 4 x 120/3 = 160 km/hr Note : This can be solved WITHOUT using this formula by using fundamentals of TIME, Speed & Distance. Derivation of formula : Let x be the total distance and t be the time at which the two trains meet. Let s1, s2 are speeds of train A, train B RESPECTIVELY and a & b are the times at which they reach the DESTINATION after they meet. x = t(s1 + s2) ...(1) x = (t + a)s1 ...(2) x = (t + b)s2 ...(3) Solving (1), (2) & (3) t = √(a*b) => Time to meet is the Geometric Mean of individual time after meeting. => s1/s2 = √(b/a) |
