Repeat the previous problem, only now the driver of car A is traveling at VA = 130 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 5 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km /h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. If the motion of the police car P remains as described in the previous problem, determine the distance required for police officer to overtake car A.Ans. 330 m Car A is traveling at a constant speed va=130 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The policeofficer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins toaccelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s until a speed of 160 km/h is achieved, and that speed is thenmaintained. Determine the distance required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect anynonrectilinear motion of P.

3. Flow on a road is q1=1800veh/hr/lane, and density is kl=14.4 veh/km/lane. To reduce speeding on a section of highway, a police cruiser decides to implement a rolling roadblock, and to travel in the left lane at the speed limit (v2=88km/hr) for 10 km. This ensures that no overtaking is done by the vehicles in this platoon. After the police cruiser joins, the platoon density increases to 20 veh/km/lane and flow drops. Find: (a) How many vehicles will be in the platoon when the police car leaves the highway (b) How long it will take for the queue to dissipate
O: On a two-lane two-way highway, a car A was following a truck B and both were travelling at a speed of 40 kmph. While looking for an opportunity to overtake the truck, the driver of a car a saw another car C coming from the opposite direction. a that moment, the distance betwen A and C was 450 m. After an initial hesitation period of 2 seconds, the driver of car A started the overtaking operation. The distance between A and B at the instant was 30 m. A overtook B by accelerating at a uniform rate of 1.20 ms 2. When the overtaking operation was completed, there was a distance of 25 m between B and A. Determine the distance between different vehicles given as measured from the front bumber of the one vehicle to the front bumber of the another vehicle. Design speed of the highway is 80 kmph.

One vehicle is following another on a two-lane, two-way highway at night according to the safe-driving “rule-of-thumb” of one car length spacing for each 10 mph of speed. Both of you traveling at 70 mph when the lead vehicle crashes into an unlighted disable vehicle. Assuming that one car length is 20 feet, f=0.28 and PIEV time is 1.5 for you, will you hit the lead vehicle? If so at what speed will you be going?
