3. As two trains move along a track, their conductors suddenly notice that they are headed toward each other. The below figure gives their velocities v as functions of time t as the conductors slow the trains. The figure's vertical scaling is set by vş = 40.0 m/s. The slowing processes begin when the trains are 200 m apart. What is their separation when both trains have stopped? 40 m v (m/s) IN I 4 6t(s)
