Question
A train 100m long moving on a straight level track passes a pole in 5s. Find (a) the speed ofthe train (b) the time it will take to cross a bridge 500m long
Solution
(a) The speed of the train can be calculated using the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Here, the distance is the length of the train which is 100m and the time taken to pass the pole is 5s.
So, Speed = 100m / 5s = 20m/s
(b)
