1. An auto A is moving at 20 ft/s and accelerating at 5 ft/s2 to overtake an auto B which is 384 ft head. If auto B is moving at 60ft/s and decelerating at 3 ft/s2, how soon will A pass B?
The 5-Mg truck and 2-Mg car are traveling with the free-rolling velocities of 37 km/h and 13 km/h, respectively, just before they collide. After the collision, the car moves with a velocity of 13 km/h to the right relative to the truck. Determine the coefficient of restitution between the truck and car.
1015. Two cars A and B have a velocity of 60 mph in the same direction. A is 250 ft behindB when the brakes are applied to car B, causing it to decelerate at the constant rate of 10 ft per sec. In what time will A overtake B, and how far will each car have traveled?
Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 ft/s . It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 14 ft/s? Part A - (Figure 1) Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. HẢ ? Value Units
Civil Q1/ The relation between speed and density on a scction of highway is governed by V = 100 -0.8 D. %3D At a flow of 1000 veh/hr, a slow moving truck with a speed of 20 km/hr enters the road and exits after 800 m. Estimate: 1) Speed of shockwaves after the truck enters. 2) Speed of shockwaves after the truck exits. 3) Distance of platoon will reach.
the front of a 5m long bus travelling at a constant rate of 20 m/s is 55 m away from an intersection, when the traffic light turns orange. It will take 3s before the traffic late turns red. The driver's reaction time is 0.25s. The bus can accelerate up to 2m/s2 or slow down at a maximum rate of 4.3 m/s2. The intersection is 22m wide. should the driver step on the brakes or on the gas pedal? Show computational proof
O: On a two-lane two-way highway, a car A was following a truck B and both were travelling at a speed of 40 kmph. While looking for an opportunity to overtake the truck, the driver of a car a saw another car C coming from the opposite direction. a that moment, the distance betwen A and C was 450 m. After an initial hesitation period of 2 seconds, the driver of car A started the overtaking operation. The distance between A and B at the instant was 30 m. A overtook B by accelerating at a uniform rate of 1.20 ms 2. When the overtaking operation was completed, there was a distance of 25 m between B and A. Determine the distance between different vehicles given as measured from the front bumber of the one vehicle to the front bumber of the another vehicle. Design speed of the highway is 80 kmph.

QA2- 2-D Motion An unmanned vehicle follows a curved path, beginning at O and ending at A, of length 18 m. At O the speed of the vehicle is 12 m/s and it has slowed to 6 m/s at A. The tangential deceleration of the vehicle is proportional to the distance from O. a) Write an equation for tangential acceleration. b) Find the constant of proportionality in your equation. c) If the resultant acceleration at A is 10 m/s, determine the radius of the curved path at A. Hint: Don't forget that the vehicle has both tangential and centripetal acceleration. In part (c), you should aim to write an expression for the resultant acceleration with radius as the only unknown.
2/108 The figure shows two possible paths for negotiating an unbanked turn on a horizontal portion of a race course. Path A-A follows the centerline of the road and has a radius of curvature PA = 85 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advan- tage in increasing the radius of curvature to PB = 200 m. If the drivers limit their speeds in their curves so that the lateral acceleration does not exceed 0.8g, determine the maximum speed for each path.
