A Train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going 90.0 km/h to 50.0 km/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 momentthe train speed reaches 50.0 km/h. assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.
