Situation 1: A man drives his Mercedes Benz down a straight road at 5.2 km at 40 kph at which point he ran out of gas. The man walked 1.5 km farther to the nearest gas station in 25 minutes. What is the average velocity of the driver from the time that the car started to the time when the driver arrived at the gas station?

Problem#4: Calculate an object’s acceleration when ? = 100 ? and when ? = 175 ?. Refer to the v-s graph below. Problem#5: As a vehicle leaves the first point, it gains a speed at the rate of 4 ??/? 2 for 6 ? and then at the rate of 6 ??/? 2 until it has reached the speed of 48 ??/?. The vehicle maintains the same speed until it approaches the second point; brakes are then applied and the vehicle slows down constantly until it stops in 6 ?. The total running time from first point to second point is 40 ?. Plot the a−t, v−t, and x−t graphs, and calculate the distance between the first and second point.
Assume you are observing traffic in a single lane of a highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of passing vehicles as 3.2 seconds and 20 m, respectively. Calculate the flow, average speed, and density of the traffic stream in this lane. thank you
Jaylen was driving a vehicle in Anaheim where he got distracted by a group of cute students of a school until he noticed the stoplight just about 15 meters ahead. How much deceleration should he need in meters per second per second if he is at a velocity of 60 kph and he needs to stop at the stoplight?
Five vehicles are traveling the highway from Point A to Point B at constant speeds. An observer at point A observes the five vehicles passing the designated point during an interval period of 29 seconds. Speeds of the vehicles are as follows : 55, 40, 45, 50, 32 kph. Calculate the flow in veh/hr. the final answer is 620.6897
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/s2 A. 9.81 B. 5.29 C. 8.91D. 2.59
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.
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A motorist is about to enter the exit ramp of a highway. When it is 50m before reaching A (along the straight path), the motorist travels at 80km/h, decreasing at the rate of 0.5m/s2until it reaches B. After it reaches B, it travels at a constant speed. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration: just after A just before B just after B

Three seconds after automobile B passes through the intersection shown, automobile A passes through the same intersection. Knowing that the speed of each automobile is constant, determine (a) the relative velocity of B with respect to A, (b) the change in position of B with respect to A during a 4-s interval, (c) the distance between the two automobiles 2 s after A has passed through the intersection.
Cars A and B approached each other on a straight road from points 457 meters apart. A has an initial speed of 76 kph and is decelerating at the rate of 0.44 m/s^2. B has an initial speed of 29 kph and is accelerating at the speed of 0.33 m/s^2. At what time (seconds) will the cars be 201 meters apart from each other? Round off to two decimal places.
