the train. one train at a instant it passess a station i stravellign at 80 km/h. another train starts from rest and constant accleereation to 100km/h. it does this in 15mins. it travels at this speed for another 5 mins. then both trains slow down at the same time arriving at the station at the same time.

draw graph

cant remember..we didnt do those train q's b'cos we havent done that chapter yet- they replanced it with probabilities and stuff.
i do know that for the Q which u had 2 draw out the graph- i made it pretty big but due to the scale it turned out like, 4 cm wide!! can u actually do a diff. scale for the vertical 'y' line from the 'x' one??

i was thinking that some of the stuff looked awfully 3u-ish...and i don't actually do 3u, i just know people that do...and looking at some of the answers posted in the other thread, i was just thinking "i know we never did that...i KNOW we haven't done that..."

yeh.. i couldnt get the train question either.. until i tried it at home.. think it had something to do with the area under the two graphs being the same (2 trapeziums) since they travelled the same distance.. meh.. this sucks :/
