A section of highway has a free-flow speed of 55 mph and a capacity of 3300 veh/hr. In a given hour, 2100 vehicles were counted

at a specified point along this highway section. If the linear speed density relationship applies, what would you estimate the space-mean speed of the vehicles to be?

Answer:

Space mean speed = 44 mi/h

Explanation:

Using Greenshield's linear model

q = Uf ( D - D^{2}/Dj )

qcap = capacity flow that gives Dcap

Dcap = Dj/2

qcap = Uf. Dj/4

Where

U = space mean speed

Uf =  free flow speed

D = density

Dj = jam density

now,

Dj = 4 × 3300/55

    = 240v/h

q = Dj ( U - U^{2}/Uf)

2100 = 240 ( U - U^{2}/55)

Solve for U

U = 44m/h

What issues does society try to forget in order to not have to deal with them ?
velikii [3]

Answer: Homelessness, Drug addiction, Mental Illness, Climate change.

Explanation:

Society would rather be ignorant to/ ignore all of these realities so they do not have to stop specific behaviors or actually acknowledge other people and help. Sometimes people are so stressed out about their own lives, they can not bare another persons issues. People are ignorant to climate change because correcting it requires massive changes and society is selfish and unwilling to change.

A 14-lb crate is pulled up a frictionless 40° ramp with an initial velocity of v1=0.4 ft/s. It is pulled 0.3 ft from location #1
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

3.25 ft/s

Explanation:

The crate is of =14-lb=m₁

The angle of inclination is = 40°=Ф

The initial velocity = 0.4 ft/s= v₁

Distance the crate will move is= 0.3 ft =d

The load pulling downwards is = 36 lb= m₂

Acceleration of the pulley, a= m₂g - m₁gsinФ / m₁+m₂ where g= 32.17 ft/s^2

a= 36*32.17 - 14*32.17*sin 40° / 14+36

a=17.37 ft/s^2

Apply the formula for final velocity

V₂²=V₁²+2ad

V₂²=0.4²+ 2*17.37*0.3

V₂²=10.582

V₂ =√10.582 = 3.25 ft/s
