Ferrari LaFerrari can speed up from rest to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. What average force is required to accelerate the vehicle if it's total weight is 3479 lb? Submit you answer in pounds.

The average force, f = .

What distance does the car travel during the acceleration period?

The traveled distance, d =

Expert Solution

Initially the car is at rest, the initial speed of the car is u=0

Final speed of the car is

Using 1 mile = 1609 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

Time taken is t=2.4 seconds

The average acceleration of the car is

The average force required to accelerate the car at this acceleration is

Multiplying and dividing by g (gravitational acceleration on Earth)

Weight of an object of mass m is W=mg

Using W=3479lb, g=9.81m/s² we get

Assuming acceleration of the vehicle is constant, the motion of the vehicle is governed by the kinematics equation for uniformly accelerated motion, to find distance traveled we use

A car accelerates from rest to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. It then continues at constant velocity for 10 seconds. Determine the distance in the first part and in the second part. Also, what is the car's acceleration in the first part? In the 2nd part? What is it's velocity at the end of the first part( which is also maximum velocity)? (show all work) distance1= distance 2= accel1= accel2= velocity max=

12. (a) Calculate the force needed to bring a 950-kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 120 m (a fairly typical distance for a non-panic stop). (b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force exerted on the car and compare it with the force found in part (a).
