Two trains `P` and `Q` are moving along parllel tracks same uniform speed of `20` m `s^(-1)`. The driver of train `P` decides to overtake train `Q` and accelerate his frain by `1 ms^(-2)`, After `50 s`, train `P` crosses the engine of train `Q`. Find out what was the distance between the two trains initially. provided the length each is `400 m`.

To solve the problem, we need to find the initial distance between the two trains, P and Q, given that they are moving at the same speed and that train P accelerates to overtake train Q. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Speed of both trains (V) = 20 m/s - Acceleration of train P (a) = 1 m/s² - Time taken to overtake (t) = 50 s - Length of each train = 400 m ...
