Math Problem Statement
Two trains are accidentally put on the same track so that they are on a head-on collision course. Train-A is moving at 28 m/s and can decelerate at -4 m/s2. Train-B is moving at 30 m/s and can decelerate at -5 m/s2. When the trains are 190 meters apart they spot each other and immediately apply their brakes. Do they collide?
