Answer:

602.08 N

Explanation:

The force supplied by the train can be found by using the formula

[tex]f = \frac{w}{d} \\ [/tex]

w is the workdone

d is the distance

From the question we have

[tex]f = \frac{578000}{960} \\ = 602.083333...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

602.08 N

Hope this helps you

The force supplied by the train is 602.1 N.

What is force?

This can be defined as the product of mass and the acceleration of a body.

To calculate the amount of force supplied by the train, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = Fd................. Equation 1

Where:

  • W = Work done by the train
  • F = Force supplied by the train
  • d = Distance

Make F the subject of the equation

  • F = W/d........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • W = 578 kJ = 578000 J
  • d = 960 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F = 578000/960
  • F = 602.1 N

Hence, The force supplied by the train is 602.1 N.
