How do you calculate the relative speed of two trains passing each other?
If two trains are passing each other the relative speed can be found by adding the individual speeds of the two trains. This applies if the trains are passing each other in opposite directions. Should one be passing the other and both be moving in the same direction, the difference of the individual speeds would be the relative speed of the trains.
Friction is a force that speed's up motion between two surfaces that are in contact?
no. it is the opposite. friction is the force that slows down things in motion in contact with each other.
Toss a ball upward what is the change in speed each second on the way up and on the way down?
The change in speed each second is the same whether the ball is going upward or downward
Two ice skaters glide into each other at full speed. What will happen?
They would fly each a different direction.
How velocity and speed differ from each other?
Velocity is a vector measurement, it has both a speed quantity, but also includes direction. Speed is a scalar measurement, it only concerns with the how fast the object is moving, not its direction

A bug flies between 2 trains which are heading towards each other at a speed of 6 mph each If the trains are 12 miles apart and the bug flies 8 mph how far will the bug fly before they collide?
The trains will collide in one hour. The answer is 8 miles.
2 trains are moving with a great speed parallel to each other . They are on separate tracks side by side. Are their chances that they will collide?
By definition, if they are parallel to each other, they will never collide, so the chance is zero.
Which is fastest unit trains intermodal trains or manifest trains?
Its not the speed over the roadbed that counts (all 3 are about the same) but the fact that unit trains do not need to be classified at each intermediary yard that makes them the "fastest".
Two trains pass each other One is going 70kmh east and the other 50kmh west A passenger on the eastbound train walks 5kmh What is the speed of the westbound train?
50 Km/h, obviously.
How do raikroad crossing signals work?
the rail road signal works in two ways to which it shows if a train is coming and also it show the speed of trains so that the captain could know to which speed they would be heading when the cross past each other
What are facts about the Atlanta Hawks?
they take turns running trains on each other
How does perceived speed differ from actual speed when two objects are approaching each other and when they are traveling away from each other?
There is addition of the speed.
Why two trains never cross each other while in motion?
Because they would hit each other and many people would die...
Are there trains between Birmingham moor and new street?
No, but they are just a short walk from each other
What types of European passenger trains are there?
There are many different types of passenger train service in Europe depending on the country in question. In general, they can be grouped into three categories, overnight passenger trains, high speed trains, and local trains. It would be useful to visit the website of the rail service in each particular country to see what is available.
