A new interstate highway is being built with a design speed of 120 km/h. For one of the horizontal curves, the radius (measured

to the innermost vehicle path) is tentatively planned as 300 m. The limiting value for coefficient of side friction at 120 km/h is 0.09. What rate of superelevation is required for this curve at the 120 km/h design speed

Answer:

28.79%

Explanation:

Given

Design Speed, V = 120km/h = 33.33m/s

Radius, R = 300m

Side Friction, Fs = 0.09

Gravitational Constant = 9.8m/s²

Using the following formula, we'll solve the required rate of superelevation.

e + Fs = V²/gR where e = rate

e = V²/gR - Fs

e = (33.33)²/(9.8 * 300) - 0.09

e = 0.287853367346938

e = 28.79%

Hence, the required rate of superelevation for the curve is calculated as 28.79%

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.

a bus is moving at 22m/s [E] for 12s. Then the bus driver slows down at 1.2m/s2 [W] until the bus stops. Determine the total dis
KatRina [158]
The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:

d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m

For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²

Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m

Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m +  201.67 m = 465.67 or  approximately 4.7×10² m.
