| A train is approaching a crossing, traveling at a constant velocity if 15 m/s to the east. You are on an afternoon ride on your motorcycle when you get stopped at a stoplight 50 m south of the crossing. At the instant the light turns green, the train is 90 m west of the crossing. Your mass, including the motorcycle, is 400 kg | A train is approaching a crossing, traveling at a constant velocity if 15 m/s to the east.
