The speed of the uniform movement of the electric locomotive is u1 = 28m / s, and the speed of the tractor is u2 = 36km / h.

The speed of the uniform movement of the electric locomotive is u1 = 28m / s, and the speed of the tractor is u2 = 36km / h. Determine how much their paths differ during the movement t = 20s.

Given: u1 = 28 m / s,
u2 = 36 km / h;
t = 20 s.

Find: S1 – S2 -?

S1 = 28 m / s * 20 s = 560 m.

Let’s write down the speed of the tractor in meters per second.

u2 = 36 km / h = 36: 3.6 = 10 m / s

S2 = 10 m / s * 20 s = 200 m.

S1 – S2 = 560 – 200 = 360 m.

Answer: the distance traveled by the electric locomotive during this time is 360 meters longer than the distance traveled by the tractor.
