A vehicle moving at 60 kmph on an ascending gradient of a highway has to come to stop position to avoid collision with a stationary object. The ratio of lag to brake distance is 6:5. Considering total reaction time of the driver as 2.5 seconds and the coefficient of longitudinal friction as 0.36, the value of ascending gradient (%) is
A particle moves in a straight line with a constant starting velocity of 45 m/sec within 12 sec. then slows down to -25m/sec within 16 sec and with that constant velocity within 14 sec. when it starts to speed up at 5 m/sec within 4sec. and constantly until it reach a total time travel of 50 sec. Knowing that x = -520 m at t=0, (a) construct the a-t and x-t curves for 0<t<50sec,determine themaximum acceleration of the particle within 5 sec. and determine (b) the maximum position of the particle (c) the time/s when x=0 (8) the maximum acceleration of the particle within 50 sec.
