    Road Safety Calculus: Calculating Safe Distances

    What i have worked out : 85th speed exceeds the limit by 24% = 37.mph. travels at 16.63 m/s average driver reaction time 1.5 seconds 16.63 x 9 = 149.67 m/s x 1.5 = 224.5 am i on the right wave lengths here, thanks for any help

    Maximizing Marine Power: Calculating Average Output of a 200km2 Tidal Barrage

    Firstly thanks for your help. I have 1025 as my mass. 9.81gravity. 4m difference in height. PE=mgh. This is what we had I'm class: 1025x2x2x9.81/6x60x60 200x10 to the power of 6. Slightly confused how they got this. Please could you help work through
