You are 50m away from a train and running at a constant velocity of 26m/s. The train has a constant acceleration of 39m/s2. If it takes the train 4.92 seconds to reach a distance of 150m, and it takes you 5.78 seconds to reach a distance of 150m, then at what distance will the two meet? Please show what equations to use, THEN input the values. Thanks!

Please let me know if there are any missing variables you need. I'm trying to do a lab experiment and I don't know what equations to use--also I know that the measurements are unrealistic, I'm just giving you the variables from my experiment.

PART 1: A train moves with constant velocity down a straight track that passes through a tunnel. When the train is at rest with respect to the tunnel, the train is exactly the same length as the tunnel. However, the train in this case is moving relative to the tunnel at nearly the speed of light. The engineer on the train says: “The tunnel is Lorentz-contracted and is shorter than the train; therefore at no time can the train be...

An airplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of 184.5 m/s and drops a rocket. The rocket falls for 10.24 s without air resistance and under the influence of gravity only, and then fires its thrusters. From the moment the thrusters are one, the rocket has a net acceleration of 5.481 direscted 30.21 degrees above the horizontal. How far apart are the plane and the rocket when the rocket passes back through the cruising altitude of the plane?
