 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.

   - To find the time it will take for the train to reach the crossing, divide the distance between the train and the crossing by the velocity of the train:   - To find the time it will take for the train to reach the crossing, divide the distance between the train and the crossing by the velocity of the train:
     - $t=\dfrac{90\text{m}}{15\text{m/​s}}=6\text{s}$     - $t=\dfrac{90\text{m}}{15\text{m/​s}}=6\text{s}$
