Two trains, each travelling with a speed...

Two trains, each travelling with a speed of `37.5kmh^(-1)` are approaching each other on the same straingh track. A bird that can fly at 60 kmph flies off from one train when they are 90 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, it flies back to the first and so on. total distance covered by the bird before trains collide is

To solve the problem, we need to determine the total distance covered by the bird before the two trains collide. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Determine the speed of the trains Each train is traveling at a speed of \(37.5 \, \text{km/h}\). ### Step 2: Calculate the relative speed of the trains Since the trains are approaching each other, we can add their speeds to find the relative speed: \[ ...

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of on train when they are 60km apart and heads directly to the other train. On reaching the train, the bird flies back to the first train. What is the total distance the bird travels before the train collide?

Two trains, each with a speed of 50 kmph are headed towards each other on the same trake. A bird that can fly at the rate of 100kmph flies off one train when they are 100km apart and heads directly to the other train. On reaching the other train it flies back to the first train and so forth. (a) How many trips can the bird make from one train to the other before they crash ?

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km//h , are headed towards each other

Train A and B are moving towards each other on the same track with velocities 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectivley. A sparrow which can fly at 30 km/hr flies off from train A when the train are 30 km apart. The sparrow directly moves towards the train 'B' and on reaching there flies back to 'A' and so on. Distance travelled by the sparrow till the two trains will hit is:

Two trains were travelling towards each 4 other at 144km/h .A passenger in one train observed that it took 4 seconds for the other train to pass him.How long is the other train?

Two trains are approaching each other on the same track with velocity 100 km/h and 50 km/h. When they are at a distance of 300 km from each other, a bird starts flying from train 1 towards train 2. When the bird reaches train 2, it instantly reverses its direction and flies again towards train 1. This process continues till the bird is trapped between the trains when they collide. If the bird always travels at a constant speed 200 km/h, the total distance the bird flies is:
