    2. Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 20.0 m/s, and uses 2.20 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is 1.3 ✕ 108 J per gallon.) (a) What is the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? N (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many...

    A mini train is moving at a constant speed along a straight, horizontal track. The train consists of an engine, which is in front, and one car that is being towed by the engine by a cable. The engine and car are not touching. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of between the engine and the track, and between the car and the track. The coefficient is the same for both; it is 0.100. The engine has a mass...
