What distance does a car travel as its speed changes from 0 to 20 m/s in 17 s at constant acceleration?

Since acceleration is constant

So the distance moved in constant acceleration will be given as

$d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} t$

as we know that

$v_f = 20 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

t = 17 s

so distance moved is given by

$d = \frac{0 + 20}{2}(17)$

$d = 170 m$

so distance moved will be 170 m

The design speed of a multilane highway is 60 mi/hr. What is the minimum stopping sight distance that should be provided on the

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Part a: When the road is level, the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b: When the road has a maximum grade of 4%, the minimum stopping sight distance is 528.19 ft.

Explanation:

Part a

When Road is Level

The stopping sight distance is given as

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}$

Here

SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
G is the grade of the road, which is this case is 0 as the road is level

Substituting values

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0)}\\SSD=220.5 +342.86 ft\\SSD=563.36 ft$

So the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b

When Road has a maximum grade of 4%

The stopping sight distance is given as

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}$

Here

SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
G is the grade of the road, which is given as 4% now this can be either downgrade or upgrade

For upgrade of 4%, Substituting values

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35+0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +307.69 ft\\SSD=528.19 ft$

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% upgrade is 528.19 ft.</em>

For downgrade of 4%, Substituting values

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +387.09 ft\\SSD=607.59ft$

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% downgrade is 607.59 ft.</em>

As the minimum distance is required for the 4% grade road, so the solution is 528.19 ft.

Where does pressure come from?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!
