A car accelerates for t sec from rest to a velocity of 48 ft. per sec, the acceleration increasing uniformly from zero to 12 ft. pre sec². During the next 4 sec, the car decelerates at a constant rate to a velocity of 4 ft. per sec. Sketch the a-t, v-t and s-t curves
The figure shows two possible paths for negotiating an unbanked turn on a horizontal portion of a race course. Path A-A follows the centerline of the road and has a radius of curvature ρA = 84 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advantage in increasing the radius of curvature to ρB = 212 m. If the drivers limit their speeds in their curves so that the lateral acceleration does not exceed 0.90g, determine the maximum speed for each path.
