Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy — practice question

A train of mass $300\ 000\ \text{kg}$ is speeding up at $0.80\ \text{m s}^{-2}$. At a certain moment, the train is moving at $5.0\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ and the resistive force opposing its motion is $15\ \text{kN}$. At this moment, what is the rate at which the kinetic energy of the train is increasing?

  • A0.075 MW
  • B1.2 MW
  • C1.3 MW
  • D3.8 MW
