Braking test 2. For another test of the tires, a car made repeated stops from 60 miles per hour. The test was run on both dry and wet pavement, with results as shown in the table. (Note that actual braking distance, which takes into account the driver’s reaction time, is much longer, typically nearly 300 feet at 60 mph!) a) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean dry pavement stopping distance. Be sure to check the appropriate assumptions and conditions, and explain what your interval means. b) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean increase in stopping distance on wet pavement. Be sure to check the appropriate assumptions and conditions, and explain what your interval means.

When on level ground, the car is placed on four individual scales - one under each tire. The scale readings are 4250 N at each front wheel and 3070 N at each rear wheel. Determine the x-coordinate of the mass center G and the mass of the car.
1. Each of the following parts of Problem 1 refers to the same vehicle. Assume aerodynamic drag is zero, friction force on each of the four tires is equal, and the vehicle can be modeled as a particle. Also, assume it has modern traction control so the tires never actually slip and kinetic friction coefficient is irrelevant. a. Determine the distance travelled for the vehicle stopping on dry pavement from 30 mph to zero in 2.0 seconds. Assume acceleration is constant and provide your final answer in feet. b. Determine coefficient of friction for part a. Provide a supporting FBD. c. Determine the distance travelled from 30 mph to zero if the vehicle is on a snow covered road with coefficient of static friction = 0.10. Assume deceleration is constant and provide your final answer in feet. d. Use the coefficient of friction from part b to determine maximum tangential velocity on a 200-foot diameter skid pad. Provide your final answer in mph. e. Determine the minimum radius curve that the…

The drag force experienced by a commercial transport (such as a 787) in cruise depends on its surface area (A), its velocity (V ), the speed of sound (a), the density (ρ) and viscosity (µ) of the fluid, and its angle of attack (α). (a) Express the non-dimensional drag as a function of the other non-dimensional groups. (b) Tests on a model 787 are performed at 1/40th scale. Assume that the speed of sound in the wind tunnel is one-half the speed of sound of the full-scale aircraft. To achieve dynamic similarity in the model test, what would the wind tunnel speed need to be in the model compared to the full-scale prototype? What would the kinematic viscosity of the wind tunnel fluid be compared to air?
! SHOW FULL SOLUTION ! USE THE GIVEN DATA PROPERLY ! If no brakes are used immediately, an automobile with a starting velocity of 30 mph or 44 feet/s will collide with a person. If the driver is inebriated, he or she will be able to respond to the situation in three seconds. If the driver is not intoxicated, he or she can react for about 0.75 seconds. Determine the shortest stopping distance required for the driver (intoxicated, under influence of alcohol) to break on time if the automobile accelerates at -2 feet/s2.
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.
