0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1110 lb to large trucks weighing 7650 lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum braking distance needed to ensure that all vehicles traveling at the posted speed limit can stop before reaching the intersection. minimum braking distance: ft maximum braking distance: ft Given that the goal is to allow all vehicles to come safely to a stop before reaching the intersection, calculate the maximum desired speed limit. maximum speed limit: mph Which factors affect the soundness of your decision? Precipitation from the fog can lower the coefficients of friction. Drivers cannot be expected to obey the posted speed limit. Reaction time of the drivers is not taken into account. Newton's second law does not apply to this situation.
I chose (C) and got my answer incorrect. I need help figuring out how to solve this and what the correct answer is.
While traversing a two-lane highway, the driver observes a girl, 60 m ahead, at the edge of the traveled way of the opposite direction about to cross the road. The lane width of the traveled way is 3.5 m. The vehicle is 2 m wide and 3 m long. The speed of the vehicle is 75 kph and the walking speed of the girl is 1.5 m/s. The vehicle is traveling along the centerline of the traveled way. Asssume that the driver's PR time is 0.8 sec and the coefficient of friction between the vehicle tires and the pavement is 0.4. a. If the roadway is level, will the girl be able to corss the road safely? b. If the roadway has down grade of 0.5%, what is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement required so that the driver won't hit the girl? c. Using the original coefficient of friction between vehicle tires and the pavement, at what roadway grade is the vehicle traversing such that the vehicle was just able to stop without hitting the girl?
