A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 90.0km/h to 50.0km/h in the 15.0 s it takes to round the bend. The radius of the curve is 150 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 50.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.

Approaching one of the many sharp horizontal turns in the Monaco Grand Prix, an experienced Formula-1 driver slows down from 150 km/h while rounding the bend in 11.0 s. If the driver continues to decelerate at this same and the radius of the curve is 15.0 m, what is the acceleration of the car the moment that its speed reaches 47.0 km/h? (Enter the magnitude.) m/s2.

Josef is late for a wedding and is speeding down a straight road at 145 km/hr when he passes an officer sitting in a police car parked behind a billboard at the side of the road. Two seconds after Josef's car passes him, the officer accelerates the police car from rest and maintains maximum acceleration of 8.5 km/hr s until he reaches a top speed of 210 km/hr. Eventually the officer gets within 150 m of the speeding vehicle and turns on the flashing lights. Josef sees the lights in his rearview mirror and panics, slamming on the brakes and starting to skid. Josef's car slows down at a rate of 5.5 m/s2. It takes the officer 0.5 seconds to realize what is happening and to move his foot to the brake pedal before he can start to slow down. The police car slows down at a rate of 6 m/s2.
