5. Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to
avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same.
If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate
at 2 ft/s², determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the
pedestrians. Moral: If you must drink, please don't drive!
v₁ - 44 ft/s
As the engineer working in a car company, you are assigned to evaluate two new car models, the Car A and the Car B car variants. The two cars begin their test drive from rest side by side and travel along a straight highway. For 10 seconds, Car A accelerates at 4 m/s2 and then maintains a constant speed. Next, the Car B accelerates at 5 m/s2 until reaching a constant speed of 25 m/s and then maintains this speed.
(b)Calculate and sketch the a-t, v-t, and s-t graphs for the Car B until t = 15 s.
