1) A train of mass 5.6 × 105 kg is at rest in a station.
At time t = 0s, a resultant force acts on the train and it starts to accelerate forwards.
Fig. 1.1 is the distance-time graph for the train for the first 120s.
speed= [2]
(ii) Describe how the acceleration of the train at time t = 100s differs from the acceleration
at time t = 20s.
[2]
Calculate the resultant force that acts on the train at this time.
