If two trains are traveling on the same track but start on different ends and one train is traveling at 30 mph and the other at 40 mph where will they meet?
Since you stated the first train as travelling at 30 mph lets assume the train travelling at 30 mph starts on the left end of the track travelling to the right, and the second train starts on the right end of the track travelling to the left. In this case the two trains will meet 3/7 of the way from the left of the track. To illustrate what i mean in case that doesn't make sense, imagine a number line going from 0 to 70 with the train travelling at 30 mph starting from 0, and the train travelling at 40 mph starting from 70. The two trains will meet on the number line where 30 is as it's 3/7 along the line from 0.

What is larger a parsec or nanometer?
A parsec is a bit larger. Quite a big bit larger. I heard it said that a nanometre is how much an aircraft carrier sinks when a seaguall lands on it. This isnt very much. A parsec is the distance you would cover if you were travelling at 186,000 miles per second for about 3 and a quarter years. These are approximate but you get the idea.

A train moving at 49mph meets and is passed by a train moving at 63mph A passenger in the first train noted that the second train took 4.5 seconds to pass him How long was the second train?
1. If they trains are traveling away from each other he observes the train at a relative velocity of 112 mph (63 + 49) 2. To get the answer we must multiply the velocity times the time. 3. The hardest part about this problem are the units. 4. Convert mph to feet per sec, then multiply times 4.5 sec to get the answer in feet. Answer= 739.2 feet
