Problem

A locomotive applies a horizontal force of 20 000 N20\,000\,\text{N} to pull a train of total mass 10 000 kg10\,000\,\text{kg} on a straight level track. The opposing frictional force is 2 000 N2\,000\,\text{N}. Calculate the acceleration produced in the train. a) 2.0 m/s22.0\,\text{m/s}^2 b) 1.67 m/s21.67\,\text{m/s}^2 c) 1.8 m/s21.8\,\text{m/s}^2 d) 0.56 m/s20.56\,\text{m/s}^2
