As two trains move along a track, their conductors suddenly notice that they are headed toward each other. Figure 2-27 gives their velocities v as functions of time t as the conductors slow the trains. The figure's vertical scaling is set by vs = 40.0 m/s. The slowing processes begin when the trains are 200 m apart. What is their separation when both trains havestopped?

(s) v (m/s)
