Actual Overtaking Time given Overtaking Space and Acceleration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Actual Overtaking Time = sqrt((4*Overtaking Space)/Overtaking Acceleration)
T = sqrt((4*s)/a_overtaking)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Actual Overtaking Time - (Measured in Second) - Actual Overtaking Time is the time taken by a driver to overtake another vehicle safely, considering the sight distance available on the road.
Overtaking Space - (Measured in Meter) - Overtaking Space is the minimum distance required for a vehicle to overtake another vehicle safely without colliding with oncoming traffic.
Overtaking Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Overtaking Acceleration Sight Distance is the minimum distance required for a vehicle to overtake another vehicle safely without colliding.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Overtaking Space: 27 Meter --> 27 Meter No Conversion Required
Overtaking Acceleration: 2.800532 Meter per Square Second --> 2.800532 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = sqrt((4*s)/a_overtaking) --> sqrt((4*27)/2.800532)

Evaluating ... ...

T = 6.2100001120905

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.2100001120905 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.2100001120905 ≈ 6.21 Second <-- Actual Overtaking Time

Actual Overtaking Time given Overtaking Space and Acceleration Formula

LaTeX Go

Actual Overtaking Time = sqrt((4*Overtaking Space)/Overtaking Acceleration)
T = sqrt((4*s)/a_overtaking)

What is Overtaking Speed?

Overtaking speed is the difference in speed between the overtaking vehicle and the vehicle being overtaken. It represents how much faster the overtaking vehicle is moving, allowing it to pass the slower vehicle efficiently and return to the original lane safely. A higher overtaking speed shortens the time and distance required for overtaking, making the maneuver quicker and safer, especially on highways or two-lane roads. Proper overtaking speed is essential to avoid prolonged exposure to oncoming traffic in opposing lanes.
