You have statements from the engineer of each train and the stationmaster, as well as some measurements you make. To check the consistency of the description of events leading up to the collision, you decide to calculate the distance from the station that the collision should have occurred if everyone’s statements were accurate. You will then compare that result to the actual position of the wreck that is 0.5 miles from the station. In this calculation you decide that you can ignore all reactiontimes. Here is what you know: • The stationmaster claims that she noted that the freight train was behind schedule. As regulations require, she switched on a warning light just as the last car of the freight train passed her. • The freight train engineer says he was going at a constant speed of 10 miles…arrow_forward
