A minor road intersects a major 4-lane divided road with a design speed of 55mph and a median width of 8 feet. The intersection

is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. If the design vehicle is a passenger car, determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road that will allow a stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn left if the approach grade on the minor road is 3%.

Answer:

stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

Explanation:

The Design Speed =55 MPH(Miles per Hour)

1 miles per hour =0.447 meter pe second

then 55MPH=55*0.447=24.58 meter per second

Consider recation time =2.5 second

Consider Co efficinet friction is 0.35

As per the Stopping sight distance based on the Breaking distance+ Lag distance

SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2gf))

SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*0.35))

The total stopping sight distance is =150 meters

if we consider the Approaching garde on the minor road is 3%

SSD=Vt+(V^2/(2g(f-n/100))

SSD=24.58+(24.58^2/(2*9.81*(0.35-3/100))

then stopping sight diatnce is =158 meters

What happens to resistance in the strain gage and voltage drop from a connected Wheatstone bridge if you were to pull the strain

snow_tiger [21]

The resistance and voltage drop will still increase but at a smaller rate than the intended axis such as the long axis.

A group of students launches a model rocket in the vertical direction. Based on tracking data, they determine that the altitude

Fofino [41]

Answer:

$u = 260.22m/s$

$S_{max} = 1141.07ft$

Explanation:

Given

$S_0 = 89.6ft$ --- Initial altitude

$S_{16.5} = 0ft$ -- Altitude after 16.5 seconds

$a = -g = -32.2ft/s^2$ --- Acceleration (It is negative because it is an upward movement i.e. against gravity)

Solving (a): Final Speed of the rocket

To do this, we make use of:

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

The final altitude after 16.5 seconds is represented as:

$S_{16.5} = S_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substitute the following values:

$S_0 = 89.6ft$ $S_{16.5} = 0ft$ $a = -g = -32.2ft/s^2$ and $t = 16.5$

So, we have:

$0 = 89.6 + u * 16.5 - \frac{1}{2} * 32.2 * 16.5^2$

$0 = 89.6 + u * 16.5 - \frac{1}{2} * 8766.45$

$0 = 89.6 + 16.5u- 4383.225$

Collect Like Terms

$16.5u = -89.6 +4383.225$

$16.5u = 4293.625$

Make u the subject

$u = \frac{4293.625}{16.5}$

$u = 260.21969697$

$u = 260.22m/s$

Solving (b): The maximum height attained

First, we calculate the time taken to attain the maximum height.

Using:

$v=u + at$

At the maximum height:

$v =0$ --- The final velocity

$u = 260.22m/s$

$a = -g = -32.2ft/s^2$

So, we have:

$0 = 260.22 - 32.2t$

Collect Like Terms

$32.2t = 260.22$

Make t the subject

$t = \frac{260.22}{ 32.2}$

$t = 8.08s$

The maximum height is then calculated as:

$S_{max} = S_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

This gives:

$S_{max} = 89.6 + 260.22 * 8.08 - \frac{1}{2} * 32.2 * 8.08^2$

$S_{max} = 89.6 + 260.22 * 8.08 - \frac{1}{2} * 2102.22$

$S_{max} = 89.6 + 260.22 * 8.08 - 1051.11$

$S_{max} = 1141.0676$

$S_{max} = 1141.07ft$

Hence, the maximum height is 1141.07ft
