Car A experienced engine failure the moment it enters a 2-km highway that has a constant grade of 4 deg throughout its span (4 deg. inclination). Point C is the location where car A experienced failure. When car A is towed by the truck it gains an acceleration of 3 m/s^2, at the same instance, car B is passing the same highway with a constant velocity of 40 km/hr and is 100m away from point C (measured along the pavement). 1. At what time will car A overtake car B? answer in unit of seconds. 2. How far from point C (along the pavement) will the two cars meet? answer in unit of meters 3. What is the velocity of car A at the instance it overtakes car B? answer in unit of km/hr

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.
