The Tokaido Shinkansen N700 Series high-speed trains operate at a maximum speed of 270 km/hr, when rounding turns. The minimum bend radius at this speed is approximately Rmin = 2500 m. When moving on a turn with this radius, with average speed of 270 km/hr, calculate the acceleration acting on the N700 train as it rounds a curve of this radius.. Express your answer in m/s2. 12.5 m/s2 1.98 m/s2 1.4 m/s2 2.25 m/s2
