A locomotive is pulling 8 freight cars, each of which is loadedwith roughly the same weight. The mass of each can be taken to be37,000 kg . If the train is accelerating at 0.28 m/s2 on a leveltrack, what is the tension in the coupling between the second andthird cars? The car nearest the locomotive is counted as thefirst.

I need to learn how to solve this problem. A detailed solutionwould be appreciated...

A locomotive of mass 6.00*10^4 kg is moving eastward with a speed of 10.8 km/h. It collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each mass 2.00*10^4 kg, moving westward on the same track with an initial speed of 5.40 km/h. What is the speed of the coupled system (locomotive and two railroad cars) after the collision? What is the direction of motion after the collision? How much energy is transformed into internal energy?

A locomotive accelerates a 25 car train along a level track. Everycar has a mass of 5.4 104 kg and is subject to a friction force f =250v where the speed v is in meters per second and the force f isin newtons. At the instant when the speed of the train is 32 km/h,the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.20 m/s2.
If the tension is equal to the maximum force the locomotive canexert on the train, what is the steepest grade up which thelocomotive can pull the train at 32 km/h?
