- D/S=T
(x+1.5)/60=2/60
x=0.5km - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 500m. s=d/t
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 1500+x/(60*5/18)=120
so, x=500m ans. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 500m d/s=t (x+1.5)/60=2/60=0.5km
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans 500m since a point object will pass the bridge in 90sec i.e., only 30 sec will be required to cover the distance of whole train so that is we use 30 sec * 60kmph gives 500m as train's lenght
