Problems On Trains

This document discusses formulas for calculating speed, time, and relative motion for trains. It provides conversions between km/hr and m/s, formulas for calculating the time it takes trains of different lengths to pass each other when moving in the same or opposite directions, and a formula for determining speed ratios when trains start from points A and B and meet.

Problems on Trains

1. km/hr to m/s conversion:

5
a km/hr = a x m/s.
18

2. m/s to km/hr conversion:

18
a m/s = a x km/hr.
5

3. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a pole or standing man or a signal post
is equal to the time taken by the train to cover l metres.
4. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a stationery object of length b metres
is the time taken by the train to cover (l + b) metres.
5. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in the same direction at u m/s
and v m/s, where u > v, then their relative speed is = (u - v) m/s.
6. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in opposite directions at u m/s
and v m/s, then their relative speed is = (u + v) m/s.
7. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are moving in opposite directions at u
m/s and v m/s, then:

(a + b)
The time taken by the trains to cross each other = sec.
(u + v)

8. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are moving in the same direction at u m/s
and v m/s, then:

(a + b)
The time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train = sec.
(u - v)

9. If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other
and after crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then:

(A's speed) : (B's speed) = (b : a)
