A 2.3-kg toy locomotive is pulling a 1.0-kg caboose. The frictional force of the track on the caboose is 0.48 N backward along the track. If the train is accelerating forward is 2.6 m/s2, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the locomotive on the caboose

Which of the following quantities are units of momentum? (there could be more than one correct choice.) a)n m b) kg s/m c) kg m/'s d)n-s 12 points] e) kg m2/s2

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
