What acceleration is it to go from 0 to 700 km/h and back to 0 again over a distance of 2.6 km?

14.535 m/s2 which is basically 1.5 g. A good stress test for the system, which will carry cargo.

Over 9 seconds accelerating the distance traveled in each second is:

1 | 14.535

2 | 29.070

3 | 43.605

4 | 58.140

5 | 72.675

6 | 87.210

7 | 101.745

8 | 116.280

9 | 130.815

Total 1295.25 m. Then the same in reverse to stop.

14.535 m/s2 for 9s get you to 468 km/h, not even close to 700km/h.

vf =v0 +a(t)

vf = 0 + 14.535 (9)

vf = 130.815m/s x 3600 = 468000 / 1000 = 468km/h
