A car is traveling at 76 mi/hr down a 3% grade on poor, wet pavement. The car's braking efficiency is 90%. The brakes were applied 320 ft before impacting an object. The car had an antilock braking system, but the system failed 200ft after the brakes had been applied (wheels locked). What speed was the car traveling at just before it impacted the object? (Assume theoretical stopping distance, ignore air resistance, and let Frl=0.015)
On a normal day, the rated speed of a high-way curve of 100 m radius is 65 kph. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.60, what is the maximum speed in kph at which a car can round the curve without skidding? Correct answer is 121.7 kph
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.
A truck travels along a straight, level road at the speed of 76ft/sec. when the driver is forced to apply the breaks to avoid an accident. If the truck undergoes a constant deceleration of 6ft/sec2, how far does the truck travel before coming to a complete stop?
