a) A locomotive is travelling at 35 m/s up an incline of 0.006 radians when the engine cuts out. How far will the locomotive travel up the incline before coming to rest? Assume there are no frictional losses, no energy input from the engine, and take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s². Give your answer in km. b) Round your answer to 4 significant figures. What is the speed (in m/s) of the locomotive after it has travelled a distance 5.83 km? Round your answer to 3 significant figures.
