Two trains A and B of length 400 m each ...

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of `72 km h^(-1)` in the same direction, with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by `1 m s^(-2)`. If after 50 s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them ?

Two stations A and B are 2km apart. A train moves at first with a uniform acceleration a_(1) and then with a uniform retardation a_(2) to travel the distance AB in 4 min.Then

A train begins its journey from a station with a uniform acceleration of 0.2 "m.s"^(-2) and moves for 1 min. Next, it moves for a further 5 min at uniform velocity. It then appIies brakes producing a retardation of 0.3 "m.s"^(-2) and stops at the next station. What is the distance between the two station?

Two cyclists are in motion towards each other along a slightly inclined hill road. The first cyclist starts with a velocity of 5.4 kg /h and attains a downhill acceleration 0.2 m//s^(2) . The second cyclist is under an uphill retardation of 0.2 m/ s^(2) after starting with a velocity of 18 km/h . If the initial distance between them is 130 m , then when would they meet? What would be their velocities at that instant?

Two towns A and B are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T minutes. A man cycling with a speed of 20 "km.h"^(-1) in the direction A to B notices that bus goes past him every 18 min in the direction of his motion, and every 6 min in the opposite direction. What is the period T of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant ) do the buses ply on the road?
