Problem 24: Five racing cars are travelling on a 2.5 mi track. An observer is standing at a point on the track for a period of 20 minutes and records the instantaneous speed of each vehicle as it crosses his point of observation. The following table are obtained. Speed( mph) 154 162 Laps covered 28 32 Cars 1 3 160 31 4 152 26 158 30 Compute the time mean speed.
It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to react to a situation to avoid a collision. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 45.5 ft/s and their cars can decelerate at 2.64 ft/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d (in feet) from the moment they see the pedestrians. The Correct answer is 528.59. Show solution.
