The driver of a train moving at a speed ...

The driver of a train moving at a speed ` v_(1)` sights another train at a disane ` d`, ahead of him moving in the same direction with a slower speed ` v_(2)`. He applies the brakes and gives a constant teradation ` a` to his train. Show that here will be no collision if ` d gt (v_(1) -v_(2))^(2) //2 a`.
