A motorist is travelling at 72km/hr when he observes that a traffic light ahead of him turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 22 seonds. If the motorists wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it tums green again, determine a) the required uniform deceleration of the car in m/s^2 b) the speed of the car in m/s as it passes the light. 320m v = 72km/hr

Q2/A car driver travelling at a constant velocity of 30 Km/br, sees a man walking across the road (32 m) ahead. The driver's reaction time is 0.2 sec, and the brakes are capable of production a deceleration of 1.2 m/sec?, Calculate the distance from where the car stops to CIOssing. where the man is (30 Degree)
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?
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.
While a car is moving with a speed 108 k on a straight road the driver sees a truck which enters the road 75m ahead. The driver applies full brake 0.5s after s/he observes the truck, however the car hits the truck with a speed of 50 k. Then what would be the maximum initial speed of car in when the driver observes the truck in order that the car does not hit the truck with all other conditions are the same?

The car is traveling at a speed of 77 mi/hr as it approaches point A. Beginning at A, the car decelerates at a constant 7.1 ft/sec2 until it gets to point B, after which its constant rate of decrease of speed is 2.3 ft/sec as it rounds the interchange ramp. Determine the magnitude of the total car acceleration (a) just before it gets to B, (b) just after it passes B, and (c) at point C. 220 B 372' Answers: (a) Just before B, a = ft/sec?
