Two trains are driving toward one another. The first train leaves Town A at 5am traveling at 60 miles per hour. The second train leaves Town B at 7am traveling at 70 miles per hour. The distance between Town A and Town B is 455 miles. What is the exact time that the collision will occur?
For the purposes of this question, let’s say the trains are propelled by linear induction and are effectively launched at full speed in a matter of milliseconds.
