Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.70 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 78.2° south of west at 4.20 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground.

The vehicle shown in Figure P9.31 has a circular cross-section of diameter D, and it is traveling at a velocity U in air with a density of ρ and a viscosity µ. It has a total drag coefficient CD, given by where FD is the total drag force. The skin friction coefficient is given by where τw is the viscous stress, Rex = xU/ν, and x is the distance along the vehicle surface. Find the ratio Fv/FD in terms of CD, the Reynolds number based on the length L, and the aspect ratio L/D, where Fv is the total viscous force exerted over the surface of the vehicle.

The driver of a vehicle approaching a signalised intersection at a speed of 40 kmph applied brakes on seeing the signal changing from green to amber and the vehicle was brought to stop on the prescribed stop line during amber time of 4 sec. If the reaction time of driver is assumed as 1 sec. then the average friction coefficient developed is [Take g = 9.81 m/s²]
Problem 1. In deriving braking distance, we assume a constant acceleration/deceleration rate, a. In fact, AASHTO assumes constant acceleration a(t) = c (constant) in most of its design procedures. Although this is not entirely true, distances required for acceleration or deceleration can be realistic if appropriate values are chosen for the constant acceleration process. Linear acceleration a(t) = c₁ ⋅ t (t is time elapse and c₁ is jerk rate or rate of change) is a better approximation to the acceleration process. a) What is the practical stopping distance for a vehicle with initial speed 70 mph, if acceleration is described by a linear function of time using a(t) = -1.8t (t is time elapse in seconds). b) Use a constant acceleration rate to achieve the same stopping distance. What is this constant acceleration rate?

Suppose that a car traveling to the west begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which of the following statements about its acceleration is correct? O Since the car is slowing down, its acceleration must be negative. The acceleration is toward the east. O The acceleration is toward the west. O The acceleration is zero.
5. An engineering student is driving on a roadway with a -1% grade and sees a traffic barricade 600 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. Despite his best effort to stop in time, the student strikes the sign at a speed of 40 mi/hr. If the student was traveling at 70 mi/hr when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception-reaction time (use practical stopping distance). 6. A driver is traveling at 62 mi/hr on a wet road. An object is spotted on the road 600 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to a complete stop just before hitting the object. Assuming perception-reaction time of 2.5 seconds and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.
