16. a freight train consists of two 8.00×105 -kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50×105 kg . (a) what force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.00×10−2 m /s 2 if the force of friction is 7.50×105 n , assuming the engines exert identical forces? this is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) what is the magnitude of the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?

Ineed this now one scientist feels that the changes in global climatic patterns may be good for the health of the biosphere. another scientist feels that sharp changes in climatic patterns could result in the extinction of the biosphere. which of these is the most likely reason the two scientists gave conflicting opinions on the impact of changes in the global climatic pattern? they do not have enough knowledge on the topic. they did not discuss the issue among themselves. they believe conflicting opinion strengthens science. they study different areas of science and have different scientific focuses.
