The driver of the vehicle on a level road determined that she could increase her speed from rest to 51 kph in 36.80 seconds and from rest to 66 kph in 96.80 seconds. If it can be assumed that the acceleration of the vehicle takes the form du/dt =  - βut where u is the vehicle speed in m/sec. Determine the maximum acceleration of the vehicle.
Question 3: A) A driver is traveling at an average speed of 40 kph when a person is crossing the road. If the perception reaction time of the driver is 2 sec., and the acceleration rate (a) is 5 m/sec". calculate: knowing that f,= (a/g) 1. The safe S.S.D. on a level road. 2. The safe S.S.D. on a 3% uphill road. 3. The safe S.S.D. on a 2% downhill road. B) Show how to derive a formula for determining the stopping sight distance that required for the driver to avoid obstruction before and after applying the brake of the vehicle while traveling a long a roadway.( with the aid of sketch)
A car is travelling along a straight horizontal road with a constant acceleration of 0.75 m/3. The car is travelling at 8 m/s when it passes a pillar box. 12 seconds later it passes a lamp post. Find a the distance between the pillar box and the lamp post, b the speed with which the car passes the lamp post.
1. In traveling a distance of 3km between points A and a car is driven at 100kph from A to B for t seconds and at 60kph from C to D also for t seconds. If brakes are applied for 4 seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate the t and the distance between A and B. 1/
While a car is moving with a speed 108 k on a straight road the driver sees a truck which enters the road 75m ahead. The driver applies full brake 0.5s after s/he observes the truck, however the car hits the truck with a speed of 50 k. Then what would be the maximum initial speed of car in when the driver observes the truck in order that the car does not hit the truck with all other conditions are the same?
The driver of the vehicle on a level road determined that she could increase her speed from rest to 51 kph in 36.80 seconds and from rest to 66 kph in 96.80 seconds. If it can be assumed that the acceleration of the vehicle takes the form:du/dt = α - βutwhere u is the vehicle speed in m/sec. Determine the maximum acceleration of the vehicle
WA driver is travelling at 60 kph on asphalt road. An object is stopped on the road 264 ft a head and the driver is able to come to stop just before hitting the object. Determine the gradient of the road if you know that the driver reacted and prepared after 2.85 sec who saw the object.
