Trains on Track

Students use this worksheet to explore how relative speed affects motion when objects move toward or away from each other. Through train-based scenarios, learners determine meeting times, distances, and travel speeds using formulas and reasoning. The worksheet includes mixed-level problems requiring the combination of algebraic and logical thinking. It strengthens students’ ability to handle problems with opposing and matching directions, a key concept in physics and applied math.
