Problems On Trains-Formulae

This document provides important formulas for calculating speed, time, and distance for problems related to train travel. It includes conversions between km/hr and m/s, as well as formulas for calculating the time it takes a train to pass objects of certain lengths while moving, the relative speed of trains moving in the same or opposite directions, and the time it takes trains of specific lengths to pass each other going the same or opposite ways.

Problems on Trains - Important Formulas

1. km/hr to m/s conversion:


5
a km/hr = ax m/s.
18
2. m/s to km/hr conversion:
18
a m/s = ax km/hr.
5
3. Formulas for finding Speed, Time and Distance
4. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a pole
or standing man or a signal post is equal to the time
taken by the train to cover l metres.
5. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a
stationery object of length b metres is the time taken by
the train to cover (l + b) metres.
6. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in
the same direction at u m/s and v m/s, where u > v, then
their relative speed is = (u - v) m/s.
7. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in
opposite directions at u m/s and v m/s, then their relative
speed is = (u + v) m/s.
8. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are
moving in opposite directions at u m/s and v m/s, then:
(a +
The time taken by the trains to cross each b) sec
other = (u + .
v)
9. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are
moving in the same direction at u m/s and v m/s, then:
The time taken by the faster train to cross the (a + se
slower train = b) c.
(u -
v)
10. If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from
points A and B towards each other and after crossing they
take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then:
(A's speed) : (B's speed) = (b : a)
