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

The magnitude of the force exerted by the locomotive on the caboose is 3.08 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a toy, m = 2.3 kg

Mass of caboose, m' = 1 kg

The frictional force of the track on the caboose is 0.48 N backward along the track.

The acceleration of train,

The magnitude of the force exerted by the locomotive on the caboose is given by :

So, the magnitude of the force exerted by the locomotive on the caboose is 3.08 N.

the answer is a. at the equator

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
