Fig. 1
The potential difference between the overhead cable and the rails on the ground is 25 kV.
The sliding contact on the top of the train constantly touches the overhead cable.
The overhead cable supplies a current I to the electric motor of the train.
The motor turns the wheels. The train experiences a resultant forward force F.
The total mass of the train is 2.1 × 105 kg.
(a) The train accelerates from rest. The value of F is 190 kN for speeds less than 6.0 m s–1.
(i) Show that the train’s acceleration is about 1 m s–2.
[1]
(ii) Calculate the distance s that the train travels to reach a speed of 6.0 m s–1.

(iii) The speed of the train is v.
During one period of its journey, the train accelerates from v = 30 m s–1 to v = 60 m s–1.
The graph of F against v for this period is shown below.

1. Use the graph to show that output power of the electric motor during this period is
constant at about 4 MW.
