Question

A racing car of mass 850 kg accelerates from 20 km/h to 160 km/h over a distance of 300 metres. Frictional forces and wind resistance can be assumed to be 800N.

Determine the following:

(i)The average acceleration

(ii)The time taken to accelerate from 20 km/h to 160 km/h

(iii)The tractive force produced by the car to provide this acceleration

(iv)The car finally reaches a speed of 250km/h. Friction and wind resistance are 1800 N at this speed. What power output is required to maintain this speed?
