If train A is traveling at 30 mph...?

Question

Train A is traveling at 30 mph. Train B is traveling at 45 kph. The conductor on Train A is 45 years old and he has 12 kids. His 12 kids are riding on Train B. 3 of them are boys and 9 of them are girls. Train B and Train A are on the same track. Train B is traveling behind Train A. At this very moment they are 1 mile apart. Train B is equipped with hydraulic brakes while Train A is equipped with electric brakes. There is a north-west wind coming from the south. The cargo on Train A weighs 400 1bs. When Train B eventually collides with Train A, assuming yx=9a, how much cargo will be left on Train A?

Answer 1

Where the bloody hell do they use hydraulic and electric brakes on trains? Dynamics qualify as electric but aren't primary.

I can't answer this question due to incorrect technical merit. Re-write it using Westinghouse air brakes or vacuum brakes and get back to us.

Answer 2

A north-west wind cannot be coming from the south, therefore the conditions of the question are KNOWN to be false, ergo, if one statement is false, there is no reasonable expectation that any of the rest are true.

the variables for yx=9a were not identified, and the speed differential of the trains is about 3.38 mph. So in 17 minutes and 45 seconds from now when they impact, and the weight of the Train A is 100,000 metric tons (+400 lbs cargo) and the weight of commuter Train B is 20,000 lbs, Train B will be like hitting a brick wall of Train A on which no cargo will be lost and on Train B, five of the kids will have snapped necks and die instantly. Four of the remaining seven will have deep phsyclogical trauma and require years of intensive counseling just to control their bladders and become productive members of society. One of those four loses it and kills the conductor from Train A with an axe in his sleep for putting his children so foolishly at risk. Of the remaining three, one discovers Yahoo answers and publishes the question:

The cargo on Train A weighs 400 1bs. When Train B eventually collides with Train A, assuming yx=9a, how much cargo will be left on Train A?

Answer 3

Train A will not lose any cargo. At the speeds they are traveling train B will slowly catch up to train A and push it along at 45kph, which is almost equivelent to 30 mph. Who thought this one up?

Answer 4

There will be no cargo left the 400 lbs was food and the kids ate it all and pooped on the tracks.

Answer 5

All cargo remains intact and where it is currently. 45 kph = 30 mph. There will never be a collision.

Answer 6

Train B will never collide with train A because train A is faster (30 mph=48k/h) and is in front of train B.true???

Answer 7

This is obviously a PRANK question, however you seem to have found several suckers who are actually trying to make sense of it.

Answer 8

I cant believe i read all that and it is not even solveble

Answer 9

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump!!!!!!!

Answer 10

too much figuring for me..ty
