1200 m Highway 600 m Train Track A passenger train and a car approach a railroad crossing (RR X-ing). The train is traveling Southeast at a constant velocity. The car is driving East on a highway that runs East-West and intersects with the diagonal train tracks. The train's initial position is 600 m North of the highway and 1200 m East of the RR X-ing. 1. What is the displacement of the train from where it started to where it reaches the RR X-ing? Displacement is a vector quantity, so include both the distance and angle! 2. It takes the train 67 s to reach the highway. What is the speed of the train? 3. The train has 21 cars, and each car is 19 m long. a. What is the length of the train? b. Once the train reaches the highway, how much time does it take for the train to pass by? 1200 m Highway 600 m Train Track A passenger train and a car approach a railroad crossing (RR X-ing).
