As two trains move
along a track, their conduc-
tors suddenly notice that they
are headed toward each other.
6 (s)
Figure 2-31 gives their veloci-
ties v as functions of timet as the
conductors slow the trains. The
Figure 2-31 Problem 41.
figure's vertical scaling is set by
v = 40.0 m/s. The slowing pro-
cesses begin when the trains are 200 m apart. What is their separation
when both trains have stopped?
