2.47, Ifthe car in Example 2.9 had Cp = O45 and Ay = 25 ft?, what isthe differencein minimum theoretical stopping distances with and without aerodynamic resistance considered (all other factors the same as in Example 2.9)? Problem 2.9 Acar is traveling at 80 mi/h and has a braking efficiency of 80%. The brakes are applied to miss an object that is 150 ft from the point of brake application, and the coefficient of road adhesion is 0.85. Ignoring aerodynamic resistance and assuming the theoretical minimum stopping distance, estimate how fast the car will be going when it strikes the object if (a) the surface is level ang (b) the surface Ison a 5% upgrade. Given: Cp = 0.45 Yy = 1.04 Ay = 25 fet g =322 Vy = 80 mi/h Vy v,=0 = 085 $, = 150 ft Ny = 0.80 Solution: ye(WF-V?) 5, =e) _ 1 Bae Fertsineg) Fezay| (ao xomsrooT+FO 143178 22 =320.17 ft Dif ference in minimum theoretical stopping distances =5,=5; = 320.17 -150 =0.01(1.4) = 17017 ft answer 014 ‘Scanned with CamScanner
