A freight train consists of two 8.00 × 10 4 -kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50 × 10 4 kg. (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.00 × 10 − 2 m/s 2 if the force of friction is 7.500 × 10 5 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Polling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?

Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.
A freight train consists of two 8.00×105-kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50×105kg. (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.00×10−2m/s2 if the force of friction is 7.50×105 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the magnitude of the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?
A freight train consists of two 8.00×104 kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.60×104 kg.
(a) What force ( in N) must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 4.00×10−2 m/s2 if the force of friction is 6.20×105 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems.
answer= N
(b) What is the force ( in N) in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?
