Acceleration of Vehicle given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Acceleration = (4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking)/(Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)
a = (4*s)/(T^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity to the change in time.
Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking is the minimum distance between the two vehicles required at the time of overtaking.
Time taken for Overtaking Operation - (Measured in Second) - Time taken for Overtaking Operation is the time taken by fast moving vehicle to overtake the slow moving vehicle.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking: 13.7 Meter --> 13.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Time taken for Overtaking Operation: 7.8 Second --> 7.8 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a = (4*s)/(T^2) --> (4*13.7)/(7.8^2)

Evaluating ... ...

a = 0.900723208415516

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.900723208415516 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.900723208415516 ≈ 0.900723 Meter per Square Second <-- Acceleration

Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance

Go Time taken for Overtaking Operation = sqrt(4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking/Acceleration)

Spacing between Vehicles given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance

Go Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking = ((Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)*Acceleration)/4

Acceleration of Vehicle given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance

Go Acceleration = (4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking)/(Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)

Velocity of Overtaking Vehicle for Forward Moving Vehicle Velocity in meter per second

Go Speed of Fast moving Vehicle = Speed of Slow moving vehicle+4.5

Acceleration of Vehicle given Total Time of Travel in Overtaking Sight distance Formula

Acceleration = (4*Minimum Spacing between Vehicles during Overtaking)/(Time taken for Overtaking Operation^2)
