Vehicle Speed Given Overtaking Distance and Reaction Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vehicle Speed = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle/Reaction Time
V_speed = d₁/t_reaction
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Vehicle Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Vehicle Speed is the rate at which a vehicle travels and is used to calculate the distance a vehicle can travel before stopping.
Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle is the distance traveled by the overtaking vehicle during the time the passing vehicle occupies the gap in sight distance.
Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Reaction Time is the time taken by a driver to react to a situation and apply the brakes, affecting the total stopping distance of a vehicle.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle: 68.8 Meter --> 68.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Reaction Time: 10 Second --> 10 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_speed = d₁/t_reaction --> 68.8/10

Evaluating ... ...

V_speed = 6.88

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.88 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.88 Meter per Second <-- Vehicle Speed

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
