A train consists of a 50 Mg engine and three cars, each having a mass of 30 Mg. If it takes 80 s for the train to increase its speed uniformly to 43 km/h, starting from rest, determine the force T developed at the coupling between the engine E and the first car A. The wheels of the engine provide a resultant friction tractive force F which gives the train forward motion, whereas the car wheels roll freely. Also, determine...
15-6. A train consists of a 50-Mg engine and three cars, each having a mass of 30 Mg. If it takes 80 s for the train to increase its speed uniformly to 40 km/h, starting from rest, determine the force T developed at the coupling between the engine E and the first car A. The wheels of the engine provide a resultant frictional tractive force F which gives the train forward motion, whereas the car wheels roll freely. Also, determine...
A freight train consists of 4 engines at the front, followed by 30 rail cars. Both the engines and rail cars have the same mass of 722655 kilograms each. Each engine exerts the same force backward on the track to push the train forward. The total force of friction on the entire train is 698119 Newtons and is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines. Even with this friction present, the train engines are able to accelerate the...
A freight train consists of two kg 1000.8 4 − × engines and 45 cars with average masses of kg 1050.5 4 × . (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 2 –2 m/s 10.005 × if the force of friction is N 1050.7 5× , assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains...
A toy freight train consists of an engine and three identical cars. The train is moving to the right at constant speed along a straight, level track. Three spring scales are used to connect the cars as follows: spring scale A is located between the engine and the first car; scale B is between the first and second cars; scale C is between the second and third cars. (a) If air resistance and friction are negligible, what are the relative...
Problem (4) A locomotive exerts a force on a train of three cars of masses 9,570 kg, 21,600 kg, and 30,400 kg, respectively, as the train accelerates at a constant rate. The measured value of the tension Ty in coupling b is 35,700 N. 21,600 kg 9,570 kg 30,400 kg 5o. 5o. A Please determine, to three significant figures, (a) the tension in coupling a,
(Show All work. Be methodicall if you can't solve a problem, write a qualitative explanation.) 1. If it takes time 31 s for the tugboat of mass m = 46 Mg to increase its speed uniformly to v = 24 km/hr starting from rest, determine (a) the force of the rope on the tugboat. Also, the propeller provides the propulsion force F which gives the tugboat forward motion, whereas the barge moves freely. Determine (b) the force F the tugboat...
