Instructions: Review the case below and analyze the information. Determine what information is needed to decide which driver's account of the accident is correct. Logically discuss your results and support your conclusions. Case Study An accident occurred in which Driver 1 turned right from Post Road onto the eastbound lane of Route 460. Driver 2 was approaching this same intersection on Route 460 traveling east. Driver 2 swerved left to avoid hitting Driver 1, passing driver 1, and then stopping ahead of driver 1. Driver 1 passed the now stopped car of Driver 2 and pulled onto the shoulder of Route 460 east of Driver 2. Police arrived and details for the accident were gathered. Site Evidence Site Evidence Driver 2's car stopped a distance of 325 feet east of Post Road. Driver 1 stopped 50 feet east of Driver 2's car. Driver 1's car was a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Driver 2's car was a 2018 Honda Fit. Road conditions were dry, the road at this point is straight and level. No other cars were affected by the incident. Driver Statements Driver 1's version: Driver 1 said he pulled out while Driver 2 was still some distance west of the intersection and that Driver 1 had accelerated to 50 MPH before Driver 2 swerved around him, evidently going well over the speed limit for Route 460, which is 60 MPH. Had Driver 2 not been speeding, he would have been able to slow and not swerve. Driver 1's version of the accident. Der Dance for Deve up to som Distance Driver ved one poster Orhet Driver 2's version: Driver 2 said he was driving at 60 MPH and Driver 1 pulled onto Route 460 when Driver 2 was only 2 car length's from the intersection, forcing Driver 2 to swerve to avoid a collision. Driver 1 had barely started to accelerate and could not have been going 50 MPH when Driver 2 had to swerve around Driver 1. He started his swerve one car-length behind Driver 1 and started to stop when he was one car-length in front of Driver 1. Driver 2's Version of the accident DI Driver 2 werves around Driver 1 almost immediately Distance Driver 2 takes to stop after passing Driver 1 Based on a test of acceleration for all vehicles, a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee model can accelerate from zero to 60 MPH in 8.6 seconds. Based on tests of stopping distance, the Honda Fit can brake from 60 MPH to a stop in a distance of 131 feet. Consider a car length to be 15 feet. It may be useful to do calculations in units of feet/second rather than miles/hour. The conversion rate is 1 MPH = 1.467 ft/s so 50 mph = 73.3 ft/s and 60 mph = 88 ft/s. Assignment Driver l's version of the accident. For all parts, show the equation you used and the values you substituted into the equation, with units with all numbers, in addition to your answer. 1. Calculate the acceleration rate of the Jeep Grand Cherokee in frete second second or ft's Note: you'll need to see the assignment text on Canvas to find information you'll need about acceleration data of the Jeep. To figure out which driver's version of the accident to believe, it will help to know how far Driver I would go in reaching the speed of 50 mph at maximum acceleration. Then we can see if driver 2 would have had enough distance to come to a stop after passing this point. Follow the next steps to determine this. 2. Calculate how much time Driver I would take to reach 50 mph (733 tis) while accelerating at the rate determined in part 1. Remember that the acceleration rate represents how much the speed increases each second See page 32 of the text for information on how to do this. 3. Next we need to figure out how far the car would travel while accelerating at this rate (part 1) for this amount of time (part 2). You have the data you need. Find the right quation and solve. If you get stuck, ask for help before the assignment is overdue. See page 33 for an example of how to do this. 4. Now it's time to evaluate the two driver's stories. If driver 2 passed driver after driver accelerated to 50 mph (73.3 ftis), he would have to have started his deceleration farther down the road from the intersection than the distance calculated in part 3 Add the estimated stopping distance for driver's car (see the assignment text for this datum) to the result of part 3 above. What is this distance! Driver 2's Version of the accident Note: According to the police accident report, Driver 2 stopped 325 feet east of the intersection. 5. Which driver's account do you believe and why? Remember to save your document with your answer before uploading. Make sure you upload to the correct assignment and do so before the due date. Double check that all your answers are reasonable and have correct units. If you are asked to calculate an amount of time, the units should be in seconds, for example. If you are stuck on how to complete any part of this assignment, ask for help after reviewing the sections of the text referred to above.
