Answer:

A ) Time take by train = 27.77 seconds

B) The train will reach destination at 8:06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of Train = 18 m/s

A ) The Distance travel by train = 500 meter

So , Time take by train = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

Or, Time take by train = [tex]\frac{500 meter}{18 m/s}[/tex]

∴ Time take by train = 27.77 seconds

B ) The Distance travel by train = 40 km = 40,000 m

And Speed of train = 18 m/s

So, Time take by train = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

Or, Time take by train = [tex]\frac{40,000 meter}{18 m/s}[/tex]

∴ Time take by train = 2222.22 seconds

Or, Time take by train = 0.617 hours

So, the train will reach destination after 36 minutes

I.e The train will reach destination at 8:06 Answer
