An electric train was travelling west at 60mph?

Question

and there is a cross wind coming from the north at 65mph, which way does the steam go?

Answer 1

Don't think you caught anyone out with that one ;o)

Answer 2

The steam would only be seen from the cup of tea the Guard and the Ticket Examiner have made whilst in the Guard's van, as Electric trains don't run on steam anymore.

And note to C NOTE Electric Trains don't eject waste urine only HST's do that, they get stored on Electrics.

Answer 3

An electric train does not generate steam

Answer 4

well obveously you didn't take physics in high school. if the train is going at 60 mph with no wind the steam would still go up, and if the train is going 60 mph with a 65 mph cross wind then the steam would blow with the wind and go up too. so in conclusion im right, your an idiot, and i deffanitly deserve the best answer award. because i have nevre gotten a best answer.

Answer 5

Well, since the train is electric and has no steam the only steam there would be is from a drink or what not, and though it would not be seen it would travel NW @ 5 MPH. Thanks for the 2 pts. Appreciate it.

: )

Answer 6

if steam you are refering to is inside the car from a hot drink, steam would go up. it is traveling as the same speed as the train (law of inertia) and its not affected by the wind since its in an enclosed space.

Answer 7

The only steam coming from that train is the steam from the drivers tea.

Answer 8

Where I come from electric trains do not produce steam.

Answer 9

The steam will go Northwest Direction provided the steam is actually present as mentioned in the quest. somehow generated.

Answer 10

Is that an electric locomotive with a steam heat generator?

Answer 11

Any vapor emitted by the train (which would be from auxiliaries, since the propulsion is electric) would travel due south at 65 mph.
