What is the braking distance for the second train

Reference no: EM13647675

A red train traveling at 78 km/h and a green traintraveling at 142 km/h are headed toward one another along astraight, level track. When they are 940 m apart, each engineersees the other's train and applies the brakes. The brakes slow eachtrain at the rate of 1.0 m/s2.
