2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the term 'radius' refer to in the context of circular curves?
Think about circles and where the distance is measured from.
Define deflection angle.
Consider how sharp a turn might be in a road.
What is the formula for calculating the tangent length of a circular curve?
Think about the geometric relationship of a circle.
True or False: A larger radius results in a sharper curve.
Consider how cars behave on different kinds of turns.
Calculate the length of a curve with a radius of 150 m and a deflection angle of 30°. Explain each step.
Make sure to convert degrees to radians!
You have a curve with a known tangent length of 80 m. If the deflection angle is 45°, find the radius and connect this to vehicle dynamics.
Think about how this radius relates to vehicle speed.
