A 1100 kg passenger vehicle originally traveling on a straight and level road gets onto a section of the road with a horizontal curve of radius 255 meter. Assume that the vehicle is traveling at sea level and has a front cross-sectional area of 3.50 sq. m. If the vehicle was originally traveling at 58 kph, calculate the following: 1. Additional horsepower on the curve the vehicle must produce to maintain the original speed 2. Total resistance force on the vehicle as it traverses the horizontal curve 3. Total horsepower

A freeway has the following relationship: S = 75.4e-bD where S is in mph, for D is in pc/mi/ln (D<145), b is a positive constant in In-mi/pc. What is the free-flow speed S, in mph? Write the expression of V = f(D). Leave b in the equation. If the capacity Vm = 2500 pc/h/In happens at Do = 45 pc/mi/ln, what is the value of b?

A monorail train starts from rest on a curve of radius 800 m and accelerates at the constant rate at. If the maximum total acceleration of the train must not exceed 2.0 m/s2 , determine:(a) the shortest distance in which the train can reach a speed of 108 km/h, (b) the corresponding constant rate of acceleration at.
A motorcycle patrolman starts from rest at A 2 sec. after a car speeding at the constant rate of 120 kph passes point A. If the patrolman accelerates at the rate of 6 m/s2 until he reaches his maximum permissible speed of 150 kph, which he maintains. a. Find the time for the patrolman to reach a maximum permissible speed of 150 kph. b. How long did it take the patrolman to overtake the car from the time he starts from A.? c. Calculate the distance S from point A to the point at which he overtakes the car.
Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 ft/s^2 . It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 19 ft/s^2. Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision.
A van is driven at 60 km/h and is brought to a full stop with constant deceleration in 7seconds. If the total car and driver mass is 1.825kg find the necessary force.
