A bullet train is going 58 m/s. It cannot have a deceleration any greater than 2.1 m/s2 without upsetting the passengers. How far must the train be from its destination when it begins slowing down at the maximum rate? Formulas needed for this test: Linear Constant Acceleration motion v = vo + at x = xo + vot + (1/2)at2 v2 = vo2 + 2a(x – xo) Vectors Ax = Acos
