In the movie Spiderman 2, there's a famous minute long scene where Spiderman stops a train. If the initial speed of a five car out of control subway train was around the top speed of the NYC subway (27 m/s), and Spiderman stopped the train in exactly one minute, then what is the magnitude of the force in Newtons that Spiderman exerted on the train as he stopped it?

18000

i to found out the same but it says wrong

It says 5 cars, so multiply by 5

18000 * 5 = 90000

826.53?

To calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by Spiderman on the train, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (a): F = m * a.

To find the force exerted by Spiderman, we need to determine the acceleration of the train. Given the initial speed of the train (v₀ = 27 m/s) and the time it took to stop (t = 60 seconds), we can calculate the acceleration using the equation: a = (v - v₀) / t, where v is the final velocity of the train (which is 0 since it comes to a stop).

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration:
a = (0 - 27) m/s / 60 s
a ≈ -0.45 m/s² (Negative sign indicates deceleration)

Step 2: Determine the mass of the train:
To calculate the mass (m) of the train, we need more information. Unfortunately, the movie does not provide any details about the train's mass. So, we can't determine the exact magnitude of the force Spiderman exerted on the train without this information.

However, if the train's mass is available or estimated, we can simply multiply it by the calculated acceleration to find the magnitude of the force (F = m * a).
