Five vehicles are traveling the highway from Point A to Point B at constant speeds. An observer at point A observes the five vehicles passing the designated point during an interval period of 29 seconds. Speeds of the vehicles are as follows : 55, 40, 45, 50, 32 kph. Calculate the flow in veh/hr. the final answer is 620.6897
Car A travels due east at an initial velocity of 10km/hour then constantly increased in velocity until it reached 50 km/ hour after 40 minutes then it maintained the velocity for the rest of its travel. Car B has an initial velocity of 90 km/ hour and gradually decelerates to a velocity of 60 km/hr after traveling for 20 minutes it then maintained the velocity of 60 km/hour for the rest of its travel time. If car B travels due east 15 minutes after car A started at what distance from their starting?
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 is traveling at vÃ = 122 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.1 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.0 m/s² until a speed of 164 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= i VA 248.52 P m
