Two trains one of length 100 m and another of length 125 m , are moving in mutually opposite directions along parallel lines, meet each other, each with speed 10 rrrds . If their acceleration are 0.3 m/s^{2} and 0.2 m/s^{2} respectively, then the time they take to pass each other will be

Relative velocity of one train w.r.t . other
=10+10=20 m / s .
Relative acceleration =0.3+0.2=0.5 m / s 2
If trains cross each other then from \(s - i\left(t + \frac{1}{2} \pi\right) :\)
\(As_s s \cdot + s_2\) =100+125=225
⇒ ⇒ \(225 - 20t + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.5 \times t^{2}\) ⇒ ⇒ 0.5t^{2} + 40t - 450 = 0
⇒ ⇒ \(t = -40 = \sqrt{\frac{1600 + 4 \cdot (0.06) \times 450}{1}}\) \(= -40 \pm 50\)
\ \ \(t = 10 \text{ sec}\) (Taking +ve value).
