BITSAT2023PhysicsMotion in One DimensionActual
A passenger sitting in a train A moving at 90 ~km /h observes another train B moving in the opposite direction for 8 ~s . If the velocity of the train B is 54 ~km / h , then length of train B is :
Options
- A80 ~m
- B200 ~m
- C120 ~m
- D320 ~m
Correct answer
D. 320 ~m
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of train A ( V _ A =90 km hr =90 5 18 =25 ~m / s ) Velocity of train B ( V _ B =54 km hr =54 5 18 =15 ~m / s ) Velocity of train B w.r.t. train ( aligned A= V _B & - V _A & =15-(-25) m / s & =40 ~m / s aligned ) Time of crossing (= length of train relative velocity ) ((8)= 40 ) ( =8 40=320 ) meter.
