Aloha! This question I'm stuck on in my class. COuld you help? A driver traveling North on a two-lane two-way highway is performing apassing maneuver (i.e., using the opposing traffic lane) at a speed of v1 = 100 km/h on a sectionof the road with a grade G1 = 4%. Her perception-reaction time is tr1 = 1.0 s and her car canperform the stopping maneuver with a friction coefficient f1 = 0.35 (assuming, for example, worntires). The driver of another car traveling South at a speed v2 = 90 km/h has a perception-reactiontime tr2 = 1.3 s. Since the tires of this vehicle, which is traveling on a grade G2 = -4.0%, are ingood condition, they can develop a coefficient of friction f2 = 0.52. The two vehicles becomevisible to one another at the same time, when they are separated by a distance X = 200 m, measuredfrom front bumper to front bumper (See sketch below). Recall that g = 9.81 m/s2and that 3.6 km/h= 1 m/s.Assuming that the only alternative for the two drivers to avoid a collision is to…
An engineering student at MLQU is driving on alevel roadway and sees a construction sign 600 feet ahead Ithe middle of the roadway. The student strikes the sign at aspeed of 35 mph. If the student was travelling at 55 mph whenthe sign was first spotted, what was the student’s associatedperception/reaction time in sec? Assume that the decelerationis 11.2 ft/s?
Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 ss before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 ss for a driver having 0.1%% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mphmph (44 ft/sft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 21 ft/s2ft/s2, determine the shortest stopping distance dd for normal driver from the moment he or she see the pedestrians.
An engineering student is driving on a level roadway and sees a construction sign 600 feet ahead in the middle of the roadway. The student strikes the sign at 35 mph. If the student was travelling at 55 mph when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception-reaction time, in seconds? Assume that deceleration is 11.2 ft/s2A. 9.81B. 5.29C. 8.91D. 2.59
A trailer from a minor road joins a major road traffic stream having a flow of 2000 veh/hrand a density of 18veh/km. The heavy traffic in the opposite stream makes it difficult forvehicle to overtake it once in the traffic stream. The trailer moves at a speed of 60Km/hr forstretch of 15km. The effect of the entry of the trailer into the traffic stream is an increase inthe density of the traffic behind to 30 veh/Km. Determine the number of vehicles that willbe in the traffic stream when the trailer eventually leaves
A driver on a level two-lane highway observes a truck completely blocking the highway. The driver was able to stop her vehicle only 10 ft from the truck. If the driver was driving at 70 mi/h, how far was she from the truck when she first observed it (assume perception-reaction time is 2.0 seconds)? How far was she from the truck at the moment the brakes were applied (use a/g=0.35)?
A motorcycle patrolman starts from rest at A 2 sec. after a car speeding at the constant rate of 120 kph passes point A. If the patrolman accelerates at the rate of 6 m/s2 until he reaches his maximum permissible speed of 150 kph, which he maintains. a. Find the time for the patrolman to reach a maximum permissible speed of 150 kph. b. How long did it take the patrolman to overtake the car from the time he starts from A.? c. Calculate the distance S from point A to the point at which he overtakes the car.
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?

Problem: Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 ft/s^2. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 20 ft/s^2. (Figure 1_ Question: Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
