- The reaction time of the average automobile driver is about 0.7sec. The reaction time is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes. If an automobile can decelerate at 4.5 m/sec?, compute the total distance covered in coming to stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 48kph.2.30 An engineering student is driving on a level roadway and sees a construction sign 500 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. The student strikes the sign at a speed of 25 mi/h. If the student was traveling at 55 mi/h when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception/reaction time (use practical stopping distance)?F] Vehicles travel at constant speeds on a one-lane one-way street between sections X and Y. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of 10 seconds. The speeds of the vehicles are measured as 45, 45, 40, and 30mph, respectively. Calculate the average flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed.
- Problem 22: A car travelling at 50 mph is 80 m from the rear side of a parked bus ahead. If the driver applies the brakes immediately ( perception time is 2 seconds ) and begins slowing the vehicle at 10 m/sec. Find the distance from the stopping point to the rear side of the bus.A car was travelling at a speed of 76 kph. The driver saw a roadblock 81 m ahead and stepped on the brake causing the car to decelerate uniformly at 10.3 m/s2. Assuming perception reaction time is 2.5 sec, determine the distance from the roadblock to the point where the car will stop in meters. (Answer must be in 3 decimal places)In traveling a distance of 4.2 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 104 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 42 km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 4.3 seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distances between A and B. A Answers: t = S= 104 km/h 101.9262821 i 2.9 B T C T 4.2 km 42 km/h S km
- A child accidentally runs into the street in front of an approaching vehicle. The vehicle is traveling at 65 kph. Assuming the road is level and f = 0.35, at what distance must the driver first see the child to stop just in time? A 47.5 m B 45.1 m 97.2 m D 92.6 mAn engineering student is driving on a level roadway and sees a construction sign 500 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. the student strikes the sign at a speed of 25 mi/h. if the student was traveling at 55 mi/h when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception/ reaction time? (Use practical stopping distance)A train which is traveling at 80 mi/h applies its brakes as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its decreased velocity is observed to be 60 mi/h as it passes a point 1/2 mi beyond A. A car moving at 50 mi/h passes point B at the same instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the train to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas." Calculate the constant acceleration "a" that the car must have in order to beat the train to the crossing by 4 sec and find the velocity "v" of the car as it reaches the crossing. Train 1 mi 80 mi/hr Car 50 mi/hr 1.3 mi
- A car was traveling at a speed of 50mph. The driver saw a road block 80 m ahead and stepped on the brake causing the car to decelerate uniformly at 10 m/?2. a.) Find the distance travelled by the car during perception reaction time.b.) Find the distance travelled by the car from the moment the driverstepped on the brake until the car stops.c.) Find the distance from the roadblock to the point where the car stopped. Assume perception reaction time is 2 seconds.A motorist is traveling at 54 km/h when she observes that a traffic light 240 m ahead of her turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 24 s. If the motorist wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it turns green again by reducing speed at constant rate, determine the speed of the car as it passes the light.A child accidentally runs into the street in front of an approaching vehicle. The vehicle is traveling at 40 mi/h. Assuming the road is level, at what distance must the driver see the child to stop just in time?
