A train is going through a tunnel that is 650 feet long. The train is traveling 100 ft per second. The train enters the tunnel on one end. 26 seconds later the last car exits the other end of the tunnel. How long is the train?

Respuesta :

The speed of an object is the distance the object covers in a given time. Speed is a scalar quantity, and therefore, the direction of motion is not considered

The length of the train is 1950 feet

Reason:

Given parameters

Length of the tunnel, D = 650 feet long

Speed of the train = 100 ft. per second

Time time after which the last car exits the other end = 26 seconds

The length of the train = Required

Solution:

The distance traveled by the train in 26 seconds, d  = 100 × 26 = 2,600 feet

∴ The distance traveled by the train in 26 seconds, d = 2,600 feet

The length of the train, L = d - D

L = 2,600 - 650 = 1,950

The length of the train, L = 1950 ft.
