Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.

Chinook salmon can cover more distance in less time by periodically making jumps out of the water. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.03 m/s at 40.6° above the horizontal, re-enters the water a distance L upstream, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 2.92 m/s before jumping out again. Where L=3.67 m; t1= 0.801 sec this is a time when fish are over the water; t2= 1.256 sec; Ttotal =2.057 sec; the average horizontal velocity is 3.57 m/s. Consider the interval of time necessary to travel 2L. How is this reduced by the combination of jumping and swimming compared with just swimming at the constant speed of 2.92 m/s? Express the reduction as a percentage.
