A heavy freight train has a mass of 11800 metric tons. If the locomotive can pull with a force of 691000 N, how long does it take to increase it's speed from 0 to 70.3 km/h?

20.36=V0+5.9x10^-3

=349.1 s

is this correct?

No, not correct.

Your work is nonsense.

F=ma find a

knowing a, a=(Vf-Vo)/time
solve for time, but change Vf to m/s first.
oook but would that not be the same answer?

a=(20.36-0)/ t
t=20.36/.059

probably not how you rearrange it but all the other ways lead to numbers that are much too small
