A fast train traveling at 22.0 m/s trails behind a slower train traveling at 16.0 m/s. The fast train is 150 m behind that of the slower train when it started to stop. The fast train then started to accelerate at 0.120 m/s^2, opposing its velocity. Will the trains collide?

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.

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other on a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s^2. Is there a collision? If so, what is the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop?

a boat leaves a dock at 2:00 p.m., heading west at 15 km/h. Another boat heads south at 12 km/h and reaches the same dock at 3:00 p.m. When were the boats closest to each other?
When a high-speed passenger train traveling at vP = 160 km/h rounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track from a siding and is a distance D = 652 m ahead (see the figure). The locomotive is moving at vL = 30 km/h. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes. Assume that an x axis extends in the direction of motion. What must be the constant acceleration along that axis if a collision is to be just avoided?
Two trains, one training at 72.0km/h and the other at 144km/h, are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. when they are 1100m apart, each engineer sees the other;s train and applies the brakes. This causes each train to have an acceleration against the train direction of motion with the magnitude of 1.00 m/s^2. Calculate the distance required for each train to come to a complete stop and based on this result conclude whether there will be a collision? Calculate the time required for each train to come to a stop.

The polar bear is an excellent swimmer, and it spends a large part of its time in the water. Suppose a polar bear wants to swim from an ice floe to a particular point on the shore. The bear dives into the water and begins swimming. As the bear swims, it tires and slows at a rate of 0.0122 m/s/s. By the time it reaches the shore, which is 40.1 m from where it dove into the water, its velocity is 2.13 m/s. How fast was the bear swimming when it first got into the water? ____________m/s
