A student trying to test the braking ability of her car determined that she needed an additionalg 5.64 m to
stop her car when driving downhill on a road segment of 5% slope, than when driving downhill at the same
speed along a segment of 3% slope. Determine:
a) the speed at which the student conducted her test
b) the braking distance on the 5% grade, if the student is traveling at the test speed in the uphill direction

A motorist traveling at 100 km/h on an expressway intends to leave the expressway using an exit ramp with a
maximum speed of 50 km/h.
At what point on the expressway should the motorist step on her brakes in order to reduce her speed to reach the
maximum allowable speed just before entering the ramp, if this section of the expressway has a downgrade of 3%?

A motorist traveling at 90 km/h down a grade of 5% on a highway observes a crash ahead of him, involving an
overturned truck that is completely blocking the road.
If the motorist was able to stop his vehicle 9 m from the overturned truck, what was his distance from the truck
when he first observed the crash? Assume perception-reaction time of 2.5 sec.

In an attempt to estimate the speed of a vehicle just before it hit a traffic signal pole, a traffic engineer
measured the length of the skid marks made by the vehicle and performed trial runs at the site to obtain an
estimate of the coefficient of friction. Determine the estimated unknown velocity if the following data were

obtained.
Length of skid marks = 178 m, 180 m, 177 m, and 181 m
Speed of trial run = 48 km/h ④
Distance traveled during trial run = 90 m ⑤
