What is the distance required to stop an average passenger car when brakes are applied on a 3.3% downgrade if that vehicle was originally traveling at 35 mi/h?
What will be an ideal response?
Use equation 3.25 to determine the braking distance.
Note that a is taken as 11.2 ft/sec2; therefore, a/g is equal to 0.35.
Db = 352 / 30(0.35 – 0.033)
Db = 128.81 feet
The braking distance required to stop the vehicle is 129 feet.
