A car (SEDAN) is to overtake a bus as it enters an acceleration lane. The speed of the SEDAN is 80 kph initially. The bus is at the same speed as the SEDAN. Given the perception reaction time as 2.70 seconds and the average acceleration of the vehicle is 2.55 m/s2, solve the: a. The passing sight distance (in furlong) that the SEDAN could move while overtaking the slow-moving bus before meeting the on-coming opposing vehicle if the velocity of SEDAN increases to 90 kph and the time for it to occupy the left lane is 12.50 seconds. The opposing vehicle travels at a speed of 70 kph and the time for it to reach a point before it passes the SEDAN is 0.18 minutes. The between the SEDAN at the end of its and the opposing vehicle is 91.60 yards.
