What distance will a vehicle travel before coming to a complete stop from a speed of 70 mph, (a) When the vehicle is traveling o

n a level roadway with no grade, (b-1) When the vehicle is traveling uphill on a roadway of constant grade = 0.10, (b-2) If the roadway grade is not constant but starts at 0.10 uphill and decreases to 0 at a continuous rate, would the braking distance be equal to, greater than, or less than that in the case of a constant 0.10 uphill grade, (c) When the vehicle is traveling downhill on a roadway of constant grade = 0.10.

Answer:

(a), The SSD will be 723.9 ft.

(b-1), The SSD will be 620.2 ft.

(b-2), The SSD will be 723.91>SSD>620.2

(c), The SSD will be 910.5 ft.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 70 mph

Suppose, a perception reaction time of 2.5 sec and the coefficient of friction is 0.35

We need to calculate the stopping sight distance

Using formula of SSD

SSD=1.47\times v\times t+\dfrac{v^2}{30\times(f\pm g)}

Where, v = speed of vehicle

t = perception reaction time

f = coefficient of friction

g = gradient of road

(a). If the gradient of road is zero.

Then, the stopping sight distance will be

SSD=1.47\times 70\times 2.5+\dfrac{70^2}{30\times(0.35)}

SSD=723.9\ ft

(b-1). If the gradient of road is 0.1

Then, the stopping sight distance will be

SSD=1.47\times 70\times 2.5+\dfrac{70^2}{30\times(0.35+0.1)}

SSD=620.2\ ft

(b-2). If the grade continuously decrease then the SSD will be increase.

But if the grade is increase then the SSD will be decrease and for flat grade the SSD will be more.

So, The SSD will be 723.91>SSD>620.2

(c). When the vehicle is traveling downhill on a roadway of constant grade then the vehicle take will be more SSD

So, The SSD will be

SSD=1.47\times 70\times 2.5+\dfrac{70^2}{30\times(0.35-0.1)}

SSD=910.5\ ft

Hence, (a), The SSD will be 723.9 ft.

(b-1), The SSD will be 620.2 ft.

(b-2), The SSD will be 723.91>SSD>620.2

(c), The SSD will be 910.5 ft.

Option D is correct. The speed at which the earth's surface moves because of the earth's rotation will then be equivalent to -10³ km/hr

Speed is a body is defined as the ratio of the distance with respect to the time taken by the body. Mathematically:

Speed = Distance/Time

GIven the following

Distance = 104km/hr

If it is 6:00 p.m. in New York, it is 7:00 a.m. of the next day of the week in Tokyo, this means that the time difference between New York and Tokyo is 11 hours.

Time = -11 hours

Get the required speed

Speed = 104/-11

Speed = -9.454545

Speed = -10km/hr

The speed at which the earth's surface moves because of the earth's rotation will then be equivalent to -10³ km/hr

Which feature of the sun appears in cycles of about 11 years?
goldfiish [28.3K]
The Sun's magnetic field goes through a cycle, called the solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field completely flips. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
slega [8]
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
dI =r^2*dm
where dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from -a/2 to a/2
The moment of inertia is
I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3) (from (-a/2) toI=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12 (a/2))
