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 v = 40.0 m/s.

Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

Question

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 v = 40.0 m/s. The slowing processes
begin when the trains are 200 m apart. What is their separation when both trains have stopped?
