Tests reveal that average drivers take about 0.75 s before they can react to asituation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in their system todo the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars canaccelerate at -2 ft/s 2 (i.e., decelerate at 2 ft/s 2 ), determine the shortest stopping distance d for eachfrom the moment they see pedestrians
3. Particulate matter (PM) from vehicle exhaust is entering a gym through an open window and mixing with air discharged from the air conditioning system. The air conditioning system discharges 15 m³/s of air with a low PM concentration of only 0.20 mg/m³. The PM concentration in the air entering through the window is 4.50 mg/m³. If the mixed air exiting the gym has a PM concentration of 0.75 mg/m², what is the estimated flow rate of the air entering the window of the gym?
MARGINAL ANALYSIS. This example problem goes over the degree of comfort experienced at different levels of clean air. The different dollar value amounts are shown for every 10% increase in clean air. We want to find the optimum amount of clean air that we should have in this area, and it is important to remember that there is an optimal amount of pollution. Having 100% clean air is probably never going to be the solution. As we would expect, the more clean air we have in our economy, the higher the benefit we receive (we prefer clean air over dirty air). However, as we produce (or clean) more of the clean air we also incur a cost. As more clean air is present, the higher our costs. Note that benefits here is the same as utility, % of Clean Air| Total Benefits Total Cost 0% 50 45 10% 20% 130 50 30% 205 58 40% 269 68 50% 319 81 60% 351 96 70% 371 115 80% 386 150 90% 398 200 100% 406 280 Find the MC and MB.
