A vehicle travelling on a road with a velocity of 80 kmph possesses a kinetic energy of 85 kJ and just avoids collision with another parked vehicle by applying brakes. After application of brakes, kinetic energy gets reduced to 35 kJ. Assume the coefficient of longitudinal friction developed on road is 0.36, the braking distance is m (Upto 2 places after decimal)

Problem 1. In deriving braking distance, we assume a constant acceleration/deceleration rate, a. In fact, AASHTO assumes constant acceleration a(t): = c (constant) in most of its design procedures. Although this is not entirely true, distances required for acceleration or deceleration can be realistic if appropriate values are chosen for the constant acceleration process. Linear acceleration a(t) = c₁t (t is time elapse and c₁ is jerk rate or rate of change) is a better approximation to the acceleration process. a) What is the practical stopping distance for a vehicle with initial speed 70 mph, if acceleration is described by a linear function of time using a(t) = -1.8t (t is time elapse in seconds). b) Use a constant acceleration rate to achieve the same stopping distance. What is this constant acceleration rate? Problem 2. A car hits a tree at an estimated speed of 25 mph on a 3 % upgrade.
