An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road. if the train's speed is 75 km/h. what are the distance travelled by the car in opposite direction?

6.175 km

Explanation:

from the question, we have the following

velocity of the automobile = 95 km/g

velocity of the train = 75 km/h

length of the train = 1.30 km

since the automobile and the train are moving in the same direction, we need to find the velocity of the car relative to the train which will be their difference in speed = 95 - 75 = 20 km/h

we need to find the time it takes the automobile to overtake the train using the formula time = distance / speed , with the distance being the length of the train.

time (t) = 1.3 / 20

= 0.065 hour

now we can find the distance traveled by the automobile using the the time taken for it to overtake the train and the speed of the automobile.

therefore, distance = speed x time

     distance = 95 x 0.065 =6.175 km

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy
