In traveling a distance of 3.3 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 86 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 42 km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 4.8 seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distance s between A and B.
5) A car is traveling along a straight road with an acceleration of a = 1/4 * s ^ (1/4) (m/s^ 2 ) Determine the velocity when the car travels 2 (m).
An automobile starting from rest speeds up to 40 meters per seconds with a constant acceleration of 4 meter per seconds square, runs at this speed for a time, and finally comes to rest with a deceleration of 5 meters per second square. If the total distance traveled is 1000 meters, find the (a) distance traveled covered during the acceleration, (b) distance traveled at constand speed, and (c) the total time of travel.
A car travelling at 40 mph on uphill grade of 5%. If the brakes are suddenly applied, it will travel 56 m.then stops. Determine the coefficient of friction between the road surface and the tires. Round off youranswer to two decimal places.
Assume your car is traveling at 100 kph when a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of your car. How far will your car travel before you can apply the brakes? Show your solution. What is the likelihood of running over the pedestrian?(Assume that you can bring the car to a stop in 10 m once you step on the brakes when you are driving at 50 )
The brakes of a car are applied, causing it to slow down at a rate of 10 ft/s2. Knowing that the car stops 300 ft, determine (a) how fast the car was traveling immediately before brakes were applied, (b) the time required for the car to stop.
The pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff power before releasing the brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the aircraft has a near-constant acceleration of 0.32g (where g is the gravitational acceleration). If the takeoff speed is 208 km/h, calculate the distance (m) required to takeoff.
The car is traveling at 48 km/h when the traffic light 90 m ahead turns yellow. The driver takes one second to react before he applies the brakes. (a) After he applies the brakes, what constant rate of deceleration will cause the car to come to a stop just as it reached the light? (b) How long does it take the car to travel the 90 m?
Two cars A and B are stopped at a traffic light, waiting for the light to change from red to green, see Figure 3. Car B is 6 meters behind car A. When the light turns green, car A starts accelerating at a rate of 0.3 m / sec2, while car B departs 2 seconds later and accelerates at a rate of 0.8 m / sec2. Determine the speed each car was carrying when they are side by side.
Car 1 is at gasoline station for 10 minutes. The driver notices that car 2 passes at a speed of 40 mph. How long will it take for Car 1 to overtake Car 2 if it accelerated at 4 m/s?
Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75s before he or she reacts to a situation to avoid a collision.It takes 3s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol im his or her system to do the same.If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 50km/h and their cars can decelerate at 0.6m/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d for each driver from the moment they see the pedestrians
You are to determine the duration of the yellow light at a highway intersection. Assume that cars will be approaching the intersection traveling at 70 mph, and that the reaction time of the driver is 2.5 sec and that cars achieve a deceleration of 1/8 of the gravitational acceleration. if g=32.2 fps^2, a. how long must the traffic light remain yellow to allow drivers to come to stop before the traffic light turns red? b. what is the minimum distance of a car from the intersection when the lightturns yellow to ensure that it comes to a full stop before the intersection?
