If you are timing from when the train first enters the tunnel until the last car exits the tunnel, then the train would travel 2 miles during this time.
So 2 mi / (15 mi/hr) = (2/15) hr * 60 (min/hr) = 8 minutes

How long will it take a two mile long train going 12mph to get completely through a mile tunnel?
From the time the front of the locomotive enters the tunnel . . .-- The front of the locomotive traverses the 1-mile tunnel, bringing the center of the train to the entrance.-- The center of the train traverses the 1-mile tunnel, bringing the end of the train to the entrance.-- The end of the train traverses the 1-mile tunnel.In all, the train has to travel 3 miles. At the rate of 12 mph, it takes (3/12) = 1/4 hour = 15 minutes.
How long will it take a mile long train going 20 Miles per hour to get completely through a 2 mile long tunnel?
i think its about 4900 hours.im not good at math. Right on that! The train must travel 3 miles to go thru the tunnel and to the other end. Math is 20 miles in 60 mins......therfore 3 miles in 9 mins (60/20*3)
How long does it take for a mile long train to go through a mile long tunnel if it goes 30 mph?
4 minutes. The last car on the train is the best way to think about it. That car has to travel the length of the train(1 mile) and also the length of the tunnel( also 1 mile). The total distance would be 2 miles, obviously. So if the train were traveling at 60mph it takes 1 minute to go 1 mile, but since it is going 30mph, it would take two minutes to go 1 mile.
A train is 180m long and travels at a speed of 36km per hour How long will it take to pass through a tunnel 90m long?
36km/hour = 10m/second Assuming you're calculating the time taken from the moment the front of the train enters the tunnel to the time when the back of the train exits the tunnel, you're looking at a total distance of 180+180+90 = 450m Hence the time taken to pass through the tunnel completely would be 450/10 = 45secs.

How long will it take a mile long train going 60 Miles per hour to get completely through a 1 mile long tunnel?

A train 1 mile long moving at a rate of 1 mile per hour enters a tunnel 1 mile long How long does it take the train to pass completely through the tunnel?
2 hours. If the train is one mile long and going 1 mile per hour through a mile long tunnel, in one hour the train would be completely inside the tunnel, since they are the same length and the train is only going one full tunnel length(mile) per hour. It would then take another whole hour for the end of the train to leave the tunnel, bringing the train completely out of the tunnel.

How long will it take a mile long train going 15 miles per hour to get completely through a mile long tunnel?
Depends on what "out of" means.At 60 miles per hour (one mile per minute), a train entering a mile-long tunnel will first emerge one minute later.But for the full one-mile length of the train to pass through the tunnel and exit will take another minute, totaling two minutes from the time the first car enters to the time the last car leaves.
