The braking distance of a car from 120 km/h is 50 m assuming the pavement is level. (a) if the pavement is with 6° inclination, what will be the braking distance (in meter) of the car going up from 120km/h? (b) and if the car is going down at 2% inclination, what is its braking distance (in meter) from 120km/h? Note: Assume the breaking force is not dependent of the grade.

A car traveling at 45 mph on a poor, wet pavement has a braking efficiency of 87%. The brakes were applied 100 feet before hitting an obstacle in the road. The road is uphill for 40 feet and then is level for the remainder of the way. The car had a maximum coefficient of road adhesion in the sloped portion of the poor, wet roadway and but as soon as it started going on the level portion its coefficient of road adhesion reduced to 0.3. Assuming that the car struck the obstacle at 30 mph, what was the grade of the hill? Assume practical stopping distance equation applies.
A car travels around a curve with a radius of curvature of 60 meters. If the coefficient of friction is 0.2, what must be the banking angle of the curve so that so that the frictional resistance is zero?
An accident investigator estimates that a vehicle hit an advertisement column at a speed of 30 mi/h, based on his assessment of damage. Leading up to the accident location, he observes skid marks of 100 ft on the pavement (F = 0.35), 10 ft on the shoulder (F=0.3), and 75 ft on the grass shoulder (F = 0.25); the grades of the pavement, the shoulder and the grass are 2%, 8% and 6% downgrade, respectively. If the post speed of this highway is 60 mi/h, does the initial speed of the driver is one of the accident cause? i need solutions in 10 minutes please
