As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. one complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of pine street and 1st street. residents complain that the speed limit in the area (89 km/h) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 47 meters. because fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. the state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.842 and 0.941, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.550 and 0.754. vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small cars with a mass of 523 kg to large trucks with a mass of 3927 kg. considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum braking distance needed to ensure that all vehicles traveling at the posted speed limit can stop before reaching the intersection maximum minimum m m given that the goal is to allow all vehicles to come safely to a stop before reaching the intersection, calculate the maximum desired speed limit km/h maximum speed limit: which of the choices affect the soundness of your decision? precipitation from the fog can lower the coefficients of friction. drivers cannot be expected to obey the posted speed limit ] reaction time of the drivers is not taken into account newton's second law does not apply to this situation.
