Problem

Two trains are moving on parallel tracks. Train A is moving at 15 m s−115\,\text{m s}^{-1} and Train B at 30 m s−130\,\text{m s}^{-1}. When brakes are applied, each experiences the same uniform retardation of 1.5 m s−21.5\,\text{m s}^{-2}. Find the ratio of their respective stopping distances.
