The train I'm on is moving North at 55 mph. I am walking to the back of it at 5mph. How fast am i going?
Answers:
I reckon you are travelling north at 50mph while facing towards the south
5mph. fool
5mph heading south
who's measuring and where are they? That whole relativity thing and all.
Thank you John H.
You are going 5 miles per hour, and I believe that you are headed South.
Umm.Pretty much common sense.The train is going North. You're going in the opposite direction which is South at 5 mph, so you're travelling at 50mph South.
north at 45 mph
you are travelling north but moving south.
YOU are MOVING at 5mph but are TRAVELLING 55mph.
it's all about the discrepancies, hehe.
You have internet on the train?
you are still going north and you are going at the same speed as the train you are on you eejit. Is this part of your school homework or something? You will never get to uni at this rate. How do you know you are walking at 5mph?
you are going 5mph, and if the train is moving backwards you are going north, but if not then youre going south. Unless the train is at a curve during that moment. you could also be going east or west.
You're still plodding at 5, the train is doing 55, and you're walking south, as the train ploughs on North. Nothing changes. You don't make the train go any faster. Thats my theory anyway.
Not enough data.
You are predominantly moving east while walking South and moving North
To calculate I need the Latitude as you are travelling east at up to 500KM/hr with the earths rotation so 8 km/hr south and 88 KM/Hr North are pretty irrelevant.
Depends what you relate your 'zero' speed to. do you relate it to the ground the train is on, the train travelling at speed or something else?.
If you are travelling around a train track at the equater then you could be walking at a speed of just over 1,000 miles an hour (if you take the rotational speed of the earth into account.
As you are travelling north then you will be slowly reducing the rotational diameter of the earth where you are so you would slowly decrease your relative speed. There is a formula for it !
about 56,000KPH, thats the approximate speed of expansion of the universe.
OH BORING OHRRR LEAVE IT A SCHOOL
GEEZE
5 mph
50 mph and you are going north.
It's 20 mile an hour track!
JUUUUMP....
I would think if the train is going 55 miles an hour, It would not matter how fast you was going the other way You would still be going 55 miles an hour. But--BACKWARDS
P.S.
Im not sure but thats what I think any how!
55 mpr
5 miles an hour going south.
Just sit down.you will soon be there!!
It's a trick question.
No British train has reached speeds in excess of 54mph since privatisation!
Irrespective of how fast you walk through the train, the trains speed is greater therefore that overcomes your walking speed and you are travelling at 55mph, and, because that is the greater speed then natuarally you are heading with the train North
NB train @55mph, SB person @5mph = person moves 50 mph
NB train @55mph, NB person @5mph = person moves 60 mph
