What distance does the eastbound train travel

Reference no: EM13708553

Compute all parts of given question:

Question: Two train stations are apart by 1.10 miles (1770 m). Accidently, two trains are sent on a collision course onto the same track connecting the stations. Both trains start at rest, accelerating at a constant rate, the eastbound train at 0.35 m/s2 and the westbound train at 0.85 m/s².

Part A: What distance does the eastbound train travel before the collision?

Part B: What is the speed of the westbound train just before the collision?

I need help to determine the speed of the westbound train just before the collision.
