In how many seconds will the n-th wagon pass next to me?

[HAF]

$s = \frac12 at^2$

Nope. I can't figure anything out. I will make a break for a while and then I will try it again because now I can't do it.

Thank You you for everything. I really appreciate it.

Plug in L for the first wagon.
Plug in nL for the first n wagons and solve for the new time. You should get $t \sqrt n$. From there you can take the difference between adjacent wagons.

Plug it where? In s=1/2a.t^2?

Thank You guys! I finally got it!

So guys I talked to my teacher and he clarified few important things.

1. At the beginning I'm standing in front of the first wagon.

Answer:
After one second, you are dead.


Sorry. Couldn't resist. Carry on.
