An automobile is traveling on a curve having a radius of 800 ft. If the acceleration of the automobile is 6 ft/s², determine the constant speed at which the automobile is traveling.
A driver is driving at 75 kph when a dog suddenly appeared and stopped at the middle of the road. Determine the distance the vehicle would move before the driver could activate the brakes. Assume PRT is 2.50 secs. If the friction factor is 0.30 and brake efficiency is 45%, determine the braking distance. If the vehicle is 250 m away when the driver sees the dog, will the dog be hit by the vehicle?
Each tire on the 1425-kg car can support a maximum friction force parallel to the road surface of 2170 N. This force limit is nearly constant over all possible rectilinear and curvilinear car motions and is attainable only if the car does not skid. Under this maximum braking, determine the total stopping distance s if the brakes are first applied at point A when the car speed is 18 m/s and if the car follows the centerline of the road.
