A steel wire connects two trains at rest on the same track. The wire will snap if it is stretched by as much as 1 percent. The trains begin to accelerate in such a way that their velocities, as measured in the ground frame, are always equal. Eventually, the wire snaps. Explain carefully why this happens. How fast are the trains moving when the wire snaps?
