Solution

To find the velocity of the train, we need to use the formula:

velocity = distance / time

Given that the train travels a distance of 400 m due east in 20 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:

velocity = 400 m / 20 s

Simplifying the equation, we get:

velocity = 20 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the train is 20 m/s.
