A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 96.0 km/h to 58.0 km/h in the 16.0 s that it takes to round the bend. The radius of the curve is 160 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 58.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.

magnitude m/s2

direction ° backward (behind the radial line pointing inward)

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 98.0 km/h to 52.0 km/h in the 16.0 s that it takes to round the bend. The radius of the curve is 140 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 52.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate. magnitude m/s2 direction ° backward (behind the radial line pointing inward)

When a high-speed passenger train traveling at vP = 153 km/h rounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track from a siding and is a distance D = 847 m ahead (see the figure). The locomotive is moving at vL = 28 km/h. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes. Assume that an x axis extends in the direction of motion. What must be the constant acceleration...
