Internal energy.

Explanation:

In any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called Brownian motion). As a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance). Moreover, the particles interact with each other due to the presence of electrostatic intermolecular forces, and as a result, the particles also have some potential energy.

The sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of the particles in a substance is called internal energy.

Internal energy would be the answer because it says the sum of energies "IN" the particles.

A freight train has a mass of [02] kg. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.50 ×

otez555 [7]

Answer:

t = 300.3 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a freight train, $m=1.01\times 10^7\ kg$

Force applied on the tracks, $F=7.5\times 10^5\ N$

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 80 km/h = 22.3 m/s

We need to find the time taken by it to increase the speed of the train from rest.

The force acting on it is given by :

F = ma

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{F}\\\\t=\dfrac{1.01\times 10^7\times (22.3-0)}{7.5\times 10^5}\\\\t=300.3\ s$

So, the required time is 300.3 seconds.
