A bus line has stops at every intersection, 200 m apart. The speed of traffic and of the buses except for their stopping at bus stops is 30 km/h, but for every stopping, busses lose a total of ts = 20 seconds. Passengers are uniformly distributed along the line and walk to/from its stops at a speed of Vw = 4.8 km/h. How would a passenger’s travel total time , including access to/from stops and travel on buses, change if every other stop was abandoned, i.e., the spacing between stops was increased from 200 m to 400 m, if the average trip length on the line is(a) 4 km; (b) 6 km; (c) 8 km? For what passenger trip length Lp will the total travel time remain the same?
Calculate the average flow rate when transporting a liquid at 10 [m3 / h] using a 3in schedule number 40 standard steel pipe. If the specific gravity of the liquid is 0.9, what is the mass-based flow rate?
4. Two busses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the bus to travel A to B is 8 minutes, and of the second bus from B to A is 10 minutes. How much is the time needed by each bus to meet each if they travelled at their respective uniform speeds?

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.
Th speeds of 25 cars were observed. 10 cars were noted to travel at 38 kph, 8 cars at 39 kph, 2 cars at 56 kph, and 5 cars at 41 kph. Assume that each car was traveling at a at constant speed. a. Determine the time mean speed in kph. b. Determine the space mean speed in kph.
