8. FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION
easy

A $8000 \,kg$ engine pulls a train of $5$ wagons, each of $2000 \,kg$, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of $40000\, N$ and the track offers a friction force of $5000\, N$, then calculate: the net accelerating force(in $N$).

A

$30000$

B

$53000$

C

$35000$

D

$32000$

Solution

Force exerted by the engine, $F = 40000\, N$

Frictional force offered by the track, $F_f = 5000\, N$

Net accelerating force, $F_a = F – F_f = 40000 – 5000 = 35000\, N$

Hence, the net accelerating force is $35000 \,N$.
