Answer:
Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

Answer:
7772.72N
Explanation:
When u draw your FBD, you realize you have 3 forces (ignore the force the car produces), gravity, normal force and static friction. You also realize that gravity and normal force are in our out of the page (drawn with a frame of reference above the car). So that leaves you with static friction in the centripetal direction.
Now which direction is the static friction, assume that it is pointing inward so
Fc=Fs=mv²/r=1900*15²/55=427500/55=7772.72N
Since the car is not skidding we do not have kinetic friction so there can only be static friction. One reason we do not use μFn is because that is the formula for maximum static friction, and the problem does not state there is maximum static friction.

J.J. Thompson is the scientist who recieved credit for discovering them.
Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.
Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m
Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.
Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s
Part B) Free fall
Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0
Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s
ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m
Answer: ymax = 10084.2m
