Afreight train consists of 3 engines at the front, followed by 32 rail cars. both the engines and rail cars have the same mass of 638,394 kilograms each. each engine exerts the same force backward on the track to push the train forward. the total force of friction on the entire train is 749,869 newtons and is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines. even with this friction present, the train engines are able to accelerate the train at 0.035 meters/second2. what is the magnitude of the force in newtons in the coupling between the engine and the first rail car?

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
