Forces — practice question

(a)[1]

Define acceleration in words.

(b(i))[2]

Calculate the time needed for the train to increase its speed from $15\text{ m s}^{-1}$ to $28\text{ m s}^{-1}$.

(b(ii))[2]

Calculate the force needed for this train to have an acceleration of $1.1\text{ m s}^{-2}$.

(b(iii))[1]

Explain why the force on the train from the motors is larger than the value worked out in (ii).
