Imagine a scenario where a high-speed train is traveling at a velocity of 160 km/h along a straight track. Upon detecting an obstacle, the train's emergency braking system is activated, subjecting it to a uniform deceleration of 2 g's (where 1.00 g equals 9.80 m/s²). Calculate the distance required for the train's safety systems to engage and bring it to a complete stop, ensuring passenger safety during rapid deceleration.
