Assume you are an observer standing at a point along a three-lane roadway. All vehicles in lane 1 are traveling at 30 mi/h, all

vehicles in lane 2 are traveling at 45 mi/h, and all vehicles in lane 3 are traveling at 60 mi/h. There is also a constant spacing of 0.5 mile between vehicles.
If you collect spot speed data for all vehicles as they cross your observation point, for 30 minutes,
what will be the time- mean speed and space-mean speed for this traffic stream?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data;

  • In line 1, v1 = 30mi/hr
  • in line 2, v2 = 45mi/hr
  • in line 3, v3 = 60mi/hr
  • therefore time mean speed = v1 + v2 + v3 /n
  • = VT = 45mi/hr

  • space mean speed ; Vs
  • harmonic mean = 1/V = 1/v1 + 1/v2 + 1/v3
  • V = 13.85mi/hr
  • Hence Vs = V x n = 3 x 13.85 = 41.55mi/hr

In using the drag coefficient care needs to be taken to use the correct area when determining the drag force. What is a typical
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Drag forceF_D

  F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}C_D\rho AV^2

Where

             C_D is the drag force constant.

                 A is the projected area.

                V is the velocity.

                ρ is the density of fluid.

Form the above expression of drag force we can say that drag force depends on the area .So We should need to take care of correct are before finding drag force on body.

Example:

 When we place our hand out of the window in a moving car ,we feel a force in the opposite direction and feel like some one trying to pull our hand .This pulling force is nothing but it is drag force.
