A freight train has a mass of 1.5 X 10^7 kg. If the

locomotivecan exert a constant pull of 7.5 X1^5 N, how long does it

take toincrease the speed of the train from rest to 80 km/h?

    t=444.4s

    Explanation:

    m=1.5*10^7 kg

    F=7.5*10^5 N

    v=80km/h * (1h/3600s) * (1000m/1km) = 22.22m/s

    Second Newton's Law:

    F=ma

    a=F/m=7.5*10^5 / (1.5*10^7) = 0.05m/s^2

    Kinematics equation:

    vf=vo+at=at

    vo: initial velocity equal zero

    t=vf/a=22.22/0.05=444.4s
