NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Three seconds after automobile B passes through the intersection shown, automobile A passes through the same intersection. Given, the speed of automobile A is VA = 55.00 mi/h and automobile B is vg= 34.00 mi/h, respectively. Also, know that the speeds are constant for the automobiles during the encounter. N 70° S + VA vB Determine the distance between the two automobiles 2 s after A has passed through the intersection. The distance between the two automobiles 2 s after A has passed through the intersection is
Assume that you are observing traffic in a single lane of a highway at a specific location. You measure the average headway and average spacing of passing vehicles as 3.2 seconds and 165 ft, respectively. Calculate the following: a) flow of the traffic stream in this lane. Blank 1 b) average speed of the traffic stream in this lane in mi/h. Blank 2 c) density of the traffic stream in this lane. Blank 3 Round off your answer to three decimal places and do not include the unit.
Situation 1: Two automobiles A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t = 0 seconds, A and B are 1 km apart, their speeds are VA = 110 kph and VB = 60 kph and they are at points P and Q respectively. Knowing that A passes point Q, 40 seconds after B was there and that B passes point P, 42 seconds after A was there. Question 6 Question 7 Question 8 Determine the time when they pass each other.

Assume you're observing traffic on a single lane of a highway in a specific location. Calculate the traffic flow (veh/hr), average speed (mi/hr), and density in this lane (veh/mi). Mean headway = 3.8 seconds; spacing= (177.4) feet.
Problem#4: Calculate an object’s acceleration when ? = 100 ? and when ? = 175 ?. Refer to the v-s graph below. Problem#5: As a vehicle leaves the first point, it gains a speed at the rate of 4 ??/? 2 for 6 ? and then at the rate of 6 ??/? 2 until it has reached the speed of 48 ??/?. The vehicle maintains the same speed until it approaches the second point; brakes are then applied and the vehicle slows down constantly until it stops in 6 ?. The total running time from first point to second point is 40 ?. Plot the a−t, v−t, and x−t graphs, and calculate the distance between the first and second point.
Car A is moving with constant speed v on the straight and level highway. The police officer in the stationary car Pattempts to measure 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 = 78 mi/hr, L= 480 ft, and D = 17 ft, and draw any appropriate conclusions. O Answer: v' = L P mi/hr
A vehicle moving at a speed of 50 mph is slowing traffic on a two-lane highway. What passing sightdistance is necessary, in order for a passing maneuver to be carried out safely? Calculate the passingsight distance. In your calculations, assume that the following variables have the values given: Passing vehicle driver's perception/reaction time = 2.5 sec Passing vehicle's acceleration rate = 1.47 mph/sec Initial speed of passing vehicle = 50 mph Passing speed of passing vehicle = 60 mph Speed of slow vehicle = 50 mph Speed of opposing vehicle = 60 mph Length of passing vehicle = 22 ft Length of slow vehicle = 22 ft Clearance distance between passing and slow vehicles at lane change = 20 ft Clearance distance between passing and slow vehicles at lane re-entry = 20 ft Clearance distance between passing and opposing vehicles at lane re-entry = 250 ft
