A locomotive with a power capability of \(1.5 \text{ MW}\) can accelerate a train from a speed of \(10 \text{ m/s}\) to \(25 \text{ m/s}\) in \(6.0 \text{ min}\). (a) Calculate the mass of the train. Find (b) the speed of the train and (c) the force accelerating the train as functions of time (in seconds) during the \(6.0 \text{ min}\) interval. (d) Find the distance moved by the train during the interval.
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) Calculate the mass of the train; (b) the speed of the train and; (c) the force accelerating the train as functions of time
