A train is driving from Hamburg to Kiel with a velocity of 340 km/h. What is the velocity component towards the rotation axis of the Earth? The train is attracted by gravity, pushed radially by centrifugal acceleration and tilted sideways by Coriolis force. Calculate the resulting total acceleration vector (direction and length)!
