Disregard the width of the crossing

Reference no: EM13671681

A train 300 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 83.2 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and later the last car passes the crossing with a speed of 17.5 km/h. assuming constant acceleration, decide how long the train blocked the crossing. Disregard the width of the crossing.
