Two trains travelling on the same track are approaching each other with equal speeds of $40\ m/s$ . The drivers of the trains begin to decelerate simultaneously when they are just $2.0\ km$ apart. Assuming the decelerations to be uniform and equal, the value of the deceleration to barely avoid collision should be..........$m/s^2$
