3. Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s², determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians.

The gap between 2 consecutive automobiles is 25 meters. At a certain time the front vehicle is traveling at 85 kph and the following vehicle at 60 kph. If both vehicles start accelerating at the same time, determine the gap between two vehicles after 21 seconds if the acceleration of the vehicles can be assumed to take the following forms: du / dt = 1.04 – 0.080ut (leading vehicle) du / dt = 1.03 - 0.075ut ( following vehicle)

3. Two cars A and B travelling in the same direction and stopped at a highway traffic sign. As the signal turns green car A accelerates at a constant rate of 1m/s2. Two seconds later the second car B accelerates at constant rate of 1.3m/s2. When will the second car B overtakes the first car A.
A vehicle (SUV) is to overtake a bus as it enters an acceleration lane. The speed of the SUV is 80 kph initially. The bus is at the same speed as the SUV. Given the perception reaction time as 2.70 seconds and the average acceleration of the vehicle is 2.55 m/s2, solve the following: provide solution asap a. The distance (in ft) traversed during the perception and reaction time and during the initial acceleration to the point of encroachment on the left lane.b. The distance (in yard) travelled by the passing vehicle occupies the left lane if the opposing vehicle travelled at 75 kph and the time for the passing vehicle to occupy the left lane is 20 seconds. c. The minimum passing sight distance (in m) if the SUV's velocity to overtake the bus is 55.92 miles per hour while the distance between the opposing vehicle and the SUV after its !PAnguygt is 295 ft. The time for the SUV to occupy the left lane is 0.23 minutes. d. The passing sight distance (in furlong) that the SUV could move…
