You want to visit your friend in Seattle and decide to take the train. Unfortunately, you are late getting to the train station. You are running as fast as you can, but 30 meters ahead of you the train begins to pull out. You can run at a maximum speed of 8 m/s and the train is accelerating at 1 m/s². In 50 meters you will reach a barrier. Can you catch up to the departing train? Argue why you should or should not jump onto the moving train?
