Calculations based on Problems on trains - Two trains/objects travelling in same direction with length

Problems on trains - Two trains/objects travelling in same direction with length

We calculate relative speed as difference between both of the trains/objects speed i.e if u m/s is the speed of first train/object and v m/s is the speed of second train, then we calculate 

Relative speed = (u-v) where u>v

The distance between them is considered as sum of their lengths i.e l = l1 + l2

obtained relative speed and distance is used to calculate time taken for the fastest object to completly cross the other.

Formulae Used 

Time taken = (length of object1 + length of object2) / Relative speed

Calculating time taken by the fastest train/object to completely cross the other

Formula :Time = length(train1+train2) / relative speed
