Drag Problem 2-(30\%)
A motorcycle skids 13.1 m with only the rear wheel locked. It then skids 6.4 m with both wheels locked. It then slides 33.8 m on its side before it hits a concrete barrier at about 10 kph . A skid test on the bike with both tires locked determined the drag factor to be 0.9. A similar skid test with the bike sliding on its side produced a drag factor of 0.5. Determine the speed of the bike at the start of the one-wheel skid. Time-Distance Problem -(20\%)
A disabled large truck is blocking the travel lane following a curve with limited line of sight. A pickup travelling 75 mph comes around the curve and its driver attempts to stop. If the sight distance is 360 feet, the reaction time is 1.0 second, and the braking drag factor is 0.70, can the pickup be stopped in time?
