Two trains travel on parallel tracks in the same direction. The first train has a length of 100m and velocity of 200kph. The second train has a length of 120m and velocity of 250kph. Their clear distance is initially 800 meters. (Hint: Solve for the relative velocity of two bodies) 1. How long will it take for the second train to reach the rear of the first 2. How long will it take for their front to be abreast. 3. How long will it take for the second train to fully overtake the first.

An athlete crosses a 25-m-wide river by swimming perpendicular to the water current at a speed of 0.5 m/s relative to the water. He reaches the opposite side at a distance 40 m downstream from his starting point. How fast is the water in the river flowing with respect to the ground? What is the speed of the swimmer with respect to a friend at rest on the ground?
A moving beltway at an airport has a speed 1 and a length L. A woman stands on the beltway as it moves from one end to the other, while a man in a hurry to reach his flight walks on the beltway with a speed of 2 relative to the moving beltway. (a) What time interval is required for the woman to travel the distance L? (b) What time interval is required for the man to travel this distance? (c) A second beltway is located next to the first one. It is identical to the first one but moves in the opposite direction at speed 1. Just as the man steps onto the beginning of the beltway and begins to walk at speed relative to his beltway, a child steps on the other end of the adjacent beltway. The child stands at rest relative to this second beltway. How long after stepping on the beltway does the man pass the child?

1. A train 180 m long is chugging along a railroad track going north. Along another railroad track, very near and parallel to the first, another train 100m long is trying to overtake the first at 180 km/hr. If the first train is running at 120 km/hr and its tail end is exactly 500 m ahead of the front of the second train, then find the following: a. How many meters have the first train traveled when the front end of the second train caught up with its end? b. How many meters have the second train traveled when its front end caught up with the tail end of the first train? c. How many seconds would have elapsed from the initial position when the second train has completely and clearly overtaken the first train?
