In the 1950’s, an experimental train that had

a mass of 36700 kg was powered across a level
track by a jet engine that produced a thrust
of 4.67×10^5
N for a distance of 528 m.
Find the work done on the train.
Answer in units of J.

mass has nothing to do with this

work = force * distance in direction of force

= 4.67 * 10^5 * 528 Joules

To find the work done on the train, we can use the formula:

Work = Force × Distance

In this case, the force applied is the thrust produced by the jet engine, which is 4.67×10^5 N. The distance traveled by the train is 528 m.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Work = (4.67×10^5 N) × (528 m)

To compute this, we multiply the two values together:

Work = 2.46696×10^8 N·m

However, the units for work are joules (J), which are equivalent to N·m. So the work done on the train is equal to:

Work = 2.46696×10^8 J

Therefore, the work done on the train is approximately 2.46696×10^8 joules (J).
