please provide step by step solution to this question:

The engineer of a passenger train moving at 29.0m/s sees a freight train 360.0 m ahead on the track moving at 6.00 m/s. The engineer takes 0.400 seconds to react, and then applies the brakes. At what rate must the passenger train then decelerate in order to avoid a collision?

(the answer: 0.754m/s^2)

Robert · Accepted Answer

The distance between two train =360m 
Let  train A spedd=29.0 m/s    and   Train B speed = 6.0 m/s 
In .04 second , 
Train A travels=.4*29=11.6 m 
Train B travels =6*.4=2.4m 
 Now Distance between two train =360+2.4-11.6=350.
