Velocity of Vehicle given Breaking Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Speed of Slow moving vehicle = (Breaking Distance*(2*[g]*Design Coefficient of Friction))^0.5
V_b = (BD*(2*[g]*f))^0.5
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Speed of Slow moving vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken.
Breaking Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Breaking distance is defined as the distance traveled after applying brake till the vehicle stops.
Design Coefficient of Friction - Design Coefficient of Friction is a dimensionless number that is defined as the ratio between friction force and normal force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Breaking Distance: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required
Design Coefficient of Friction: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_b = (BD*(2*[g]*f))^0.5 --> (40*(2*[g]*0.15))^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

V_b = 10.8480320795986

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.8480320795986 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.8480320795986 ≈ 10.84803 Meter per Second <-- Speed of Slow moving vehicle

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
