Chapter 2, Problem 30P
The brakes on your car can slow you at a rate of 5.2 m/s2. (a) If you are going 137 km/h and suddenly see a state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the 90 km/h speed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun.)(b) Graph x versus t and v versus t for such a slowing.

A tourist drives 90 miles along a scenic highway and then takes a 5-mile walk along a hiking trail. The average velocity driving is nine times that while hiking. Express the total time for driving and hiking, T, as a function of the average velocity on the hike, x.
As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint
concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (89 km/h)
is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility
can reduce to only 47 meters. Because fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate.
The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges
between 0.842 and 0.941, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges
between 0.550 and 0.754. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small cars with a mass of 531 kg to large trucks with
a mass of 3463 kg.
Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum

the speed v with radar. If the radar measures "line-of sight" velocity, what velocity v' will the officer observe? Evaluate your general
expression for the values v= 61 mi/hr, L = 645 ft, and D = 17 ft, and draw any appropriate conclusions.

- You're checking your car's speedometer. With cruise control engaged, the speedometer reads a constant 60mi/h. (a) Using highway mileposts, you clock 4 min,45 s to go 5 m. If the mileposts are accurate, what's the error in your speedometer reading? (b) How much time should you take to cover each mile if your true speed is 65mi/h?arrow_forwardThe "reaction time" of the average automobile driver is about 0.7 ss .

The speed of a boat in still water is vá. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 19 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the vand v₁. Hint: Velocity=displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "v" and "v": Do v" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative. vb vb Downstream positive Vr Upstream negative Vrarrow_forward
- In your new job, you are the technical advisor for the writers of a gangster movie about Bonnie and Clyde. In one scene Bonnie and Clyde try to flee from one state to another. If they get across the state line, they could evade capture, at least for a while until they become Federal fugitives. In the script, Bonnie is driving down the highway at 108 km/hr and passes a concealed police car that is 1 km from the state line. The instant Bonnie and Clyde pass the patrol car, the cop pulls onto the highway and accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s2. The writers want to know if they make it across the state line before the pursuing cop catches up with themarrow_forwardSuppose a migrating bird flies at a constant altitude of 5 km, with a velocity of 42 km/h.

Round your final answer to 2 decimal places and provide units. (b) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing at time t = 0, i.e. when the bird is directly above the radar station? Is this reasonable?

- A nasty teenager is throwing tomatoes off a bridge at cars on the road below. The height of the bridge is 10 m above the ground. The teenager first sees the cars when they come around a corner 50 mdistance. All the cars are driving exactly at the speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour. Considering g = 10 m/s2 (a) how long after a car goes around the corner must it wait before it drops a tomato to hit the hood of the car at a height of 1.0 m above the ground? (b) After a while, the teenager gets bored just dropping the tomatoes. As a challenge, he decides to throw the tomatoes upward with an initial velocity, v0, instead of just dropping them. Suppose he drops the balls 1.5 s after seeingthe cars, what value of v0 is needed for the balls to hit the cars? (c) Eventually, the teenager gets bored with this new game and decides to throw the balls downward at an initial velocity of 15 m/s. Now, how long must he wait after he sees the cars to hit them?arrow_forwardAs a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets.
