How Does Friction Affect Train Acceleration?
Homework Statement What is the maximum acceleration the train can achieve? Engine effect=6500kW μ(Friction Coefficient (between rails and wheels))=0.45 g=9.82N/kg m(Train weight)=120,000kg α=0 Homework Equations Fμ=Fn*μ Fn=cos(α)*m*g a=F/m The Attempt at a Solution We've used the equations...- Claus Berner
