An unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.
<h3>What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?</h3>
It states that the force applied to the object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.
- An object will accelerate when the net force applied on the object is more than zero or unbalanced.
- The acceleration is the change in the direction or speed of the object. To achieve acceleration the force must be greater in a direction.
- When force is greater in one the object move in that direction which is known as acceleration.
Therefore, an unbalanced force is required to accelerate an object according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Answer:
a) 17.49 seconds
b) 13.12 seconds
c) 2.99 m/s²
Explanation:
a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²
Final velocity = v = 85 km/h =
Initial velocity = u = 0
Equation of motion
Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.
b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²
Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s
Final velocity = v = 0
Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds
c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s
Time taken = t = 7.9 s
Final velocity = v = 0
Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
