Question

A 90-meter train travels at a constant speed of 10 meters per second. How long will it take to cross a 0.06 bridge?

Answer 1

The time taken for the train to cross the bridge is 9.01 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of the train, L₁ = 90 m

length of the bridge, L₂ = 0.06 m

speed of the train, v = 10 m/s

Total distance to be traveled, = L₁ + L₂

= 90 m + 0.06 m

= 90.06 m

Time of motion = Distance / speed

Time of motion = 90.06 / 10

Time of motion = 9.006 s ≅ 9.01 s

Therefore, the time taken for the train to cross the bridge is 9.01 s
