Two passenger trains are passing each other on adjacent tracks. train a is moving east with a speed of 13 m/s, and train b is traveling west with a speed of 28 m/s.(a) what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of train a as seen by the passengers in train b? (b) what is the velocity (magnitude anddirection) of train b as seen by the passengers in train a?

Since the two trains are passing in opposite directions, so this means that their relative velocities will be the sum of the two trains that is: 

relative velocity = (13 + 28) = 41m/s

a. The passengers aboard on train B will see that train A is moving at 41m/sec due east

b. The passengers aboard on train A will see that train B is moving at 41m/sec due west

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
