A car is traveling at 15 m/s, when the traffic light 60 m ahead turns yellow. If the car decelerates, the time needed to stop the car at the light. 7 secs O 8 secs 5 secs 6 secs
Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A is traveling at VA = 128 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 5.8 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 5.9 m/s² until a speed of 168 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= VA P m
What will be the non-passing sight distance on a highway for a design speed of 100 kmph when its ascending gradient is 2%? Assume coefficient of friction as 0.7 and brake efficiency as 50%.
Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A sees and reacts very unwisely to the police car P. Car A is traveling at VÅ = 129 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.9 seconds, the car uniformly accelerates to 149 km/h, after which that speed is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.4 m/s² until a speed of 177 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A. A Answer: s= VA P m
The rated speed of a 200-meter banked highway curve is 50 km per hour. the radius of the highway curve is 250 meters and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface is 0.50. What is the maximum speed at which the vehicle can round the curve without skidding? Express your answer in km per hour.
Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A is traveling at vÃ = 122 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.1 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.0 m/s² until a speed of 164 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= i VA 248.52 P m
A motorist is travelling at 72 kph when he observes the traffic light 150 m ahead of him turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 10 seconds. If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it turns green, determine the required deceleration of the motorist.
