A mile long train is moving at sixty miles an hour when it reaches a mile long tunnel. How long does it take the entire train to pass through the tunnel?
Short answer: 2 minutes. Long answer: Speed of the Train is 1 (mile / minute) Distance needed to be travelled to completely get the train in and out of the tunnel = length of the tunnel + length of the train = 1 + 1 = 2 miles. Time to cross 2 miles = 2 minutes.
A train travelling at a speed of 76 mph enters a tunnel 9/2 miles long. The train is 1/4 mile long. How long does it take for the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front enters to the moment the rear emerges?
A 440 yard long train, travelling at 60 mph, enters a one mile long tunnel. How long will elapse between the moment the front of the train enters the tunnel and the moment the end of the train clears the tunnel?
A 400 yard long train, travelling at 30 mph, enters a one mile long tunnel.
How many seconds will elapse between the moment the front of the train enters the tunnel and the moment the end of the train clears the tunnel?
A 500 yard long train, travelling at 90 mph, enters a tunnel of four and a half miles in length.
How long will elapse between the moment the front of the train enters the tunnel and the moment the end of the train clears the tunnel?
