A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 7.7 ✕ 104 kg and is subject to a friction f
1 answer:
To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.
In this way,
The total mass of the cars would be,
Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,
In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,
Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is

Answer:
A
Explanation:
The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:
More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is
where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.
From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.
This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.
