Train A leaves City A at 10 am, avg speeds 200 mph. Train B leaves City B 10:20 their time, 220 mph. Tweather is clear. When will the 2 trains collide

And would Tesla approve?

Even if they were on the same track, we couldn't answer without knowing the timezone of City B and City A, the distance between the cities, and at what point they cross into any timezones between the two cities.

@jomsim I ran out of room to compose the question. :(

@TamarindCorncob Aww, I'm sorry. :(

@jomsim That is ok. There are always other questions :D

when they reach the crash site.

(a) never, they're on different tracks
(b) Certainly not
Just after the stop where I board one of the trains.

Assuming they are both on the same track, in the same time zone and headed towards each other and that City A and City B are X miles apart and that X is at least 66.7 miles apart: They will collide at time T were X = the distance between the cities and T = (X- 66.7M)/440 MH)
Tesla would have an opinion only if they were electromagnetic trains.

At 200 or 220 mph, I think they are mag-levs, so YES, he cares.

Using lines of longitude its easy to work out the distance of 20 minutes. Clue....1 degree=15 mins.

When the two trains physically impact one another.
