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
Situation 03. A road having a radius of 120m and has an angle of 9.31° from the horizontal. The center of gravity of the car is located 0.80m above the roadway and the distance between the two front wheels is 1.20m. If the car has a total weight of 15KN, a. Compute the normal acceleration and the velocity of the car before overturning. b. If = 0.60, what is the velocity of the car without sliding? %3D
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?
