Train
Important:
> The length of the two trains are always added.
‘> The distance travelled by the train to clear a platform or a bridge is equal to the sum of the length of the
train and the platform or the bridge.
> When the two train move in opposite directions, they eross each other at a speed equal to the sum of their
speeds.
> When two trains move in the same direction, they cross each other at a speed equal to the difference
between their speeds.
‘> A train said to have crossed an object (stationary or moving) only when the last coach of the train crosses
the said object completely [i.e. total length of train (‘train) crosses total length of the object (“object)].
> Distance covered = Speed x Time
‘> Time taken = Distance covered + Speed
> To convert | km/h into m/sec, the multiplying factor iss
Shorteut Formut
> Crossing time =
ie speed or eain
‘Time, Speed & Distance
Important Formula:
iii. 1 mis =“ km/hr
iv. Suppose, a man covers a distance at x kmph and an equal distance at y kmph, then the average speed will
Relative Speed:
> Two bodies are moving in opposite directions at speed v, & v2 respectively. The relative speed is defined
as.v, = vi + V2
> Two bodies are moving in same directions at speed v, & v2 respectively. The relative speed is defined as,Boats and Stream:
Let, U = velocity of the boat in still water.
V = velocity of the stream
Upstream:
While moving in upstream, distance covered, S = (U — V)T
Downstream:
In case of downstream, distance covered, = (U+ V)T
If the speed downstream is a km/hr and the speed upstream is b km/hr, then:
Rate of stream = 3 (a— b) km/hr
