There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on the given information's the answer to the question can easily be determined.
Distance covered by the bicycle = 5000 meter
Time taken by the bicycle to reach the distance = 500 second.
Velocity of the bicycle = Distance / Time taken
= 5000/500 meter/second
= 50 meter/second
So the velocity of the bicycle is 50 meter per second. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure for solving similar problems.
Answer:
to have an accurate measure
Explanation:
For the first question, you got them right, for the two you left blank, initial(beginning) velocity: 2 m/s the final velocity is: 12 m/s
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

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

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

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

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% upgrade is 528.19 ft.</em>
For downgrade of 4%, Substituting values

<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.
