Question
A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 96.0 km/h to 40.0 km/h in the 13.0 s that it takes to round the bend.
The radius of the curve is 130 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 40.0 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)
