Homework Help: Physics

Posted by Chloe on Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 6:06pm.

A train travels 84 km/h when it reaches a slower train 47 meters ahead traveling the same direction at 24 km/h. If the faster train decelerates at 2.1 m/s^2 while the slower train is at a constant speed, when will they collide? If the train that is faster begins to decelerate at 2.1 m/s^2 while the slower train continues at a constant speed, what willbe the relative speed in which they will collide?

I got 4.9 seconds for the first one and I do not get the last one. Thanks Y'all.
