A typical formula 1 car has an engine capable of producing a force of 6560N at top speed. Rules state the car must be 180cm wide and 95 cm high, giving the car a drag coefficient of 0.7. If the air density at sea level is 1.2kg/m^3 what is the top speed of an F1 car?
a) 462km/h
b) 243km/h
c) 344km/h
d) 486km/h
Homework Answers
The drag coefficient of a car is given by the formula
Here
CD Drag coefficient CD=0.7
FD the drag force on the car FD=6560 N
A is the front area of the car we are given with the dimensions as height=95cm and width=180cm
V is the maximum velocity by which the car moves
is the density of the air =1.2 kg/m3
We are asked to find the velocity of the car
Here we have used the conversion formula 
So the correct answer id option C 344 (km/h)

A Lamborghini Diablo hand an engine that could generate 530 horsepower. The cross-sectional area of the car is 2.2 m^2. The drag coefficient for the car is 0.26. Assume the density of the air is 1.29 kg/m^3. If the force of drag is the only force resisting the option of the car (ie. there are no other source of friction), what is the top speed of this car?

Consider a Porsche 911 sports car with a mass of 1900 kg. The air drag force at highway speeds can be approximately calculated as: F_drag = 1/2 C p Av^2 where p = 1.2 kg/m^3 is the density of air, A is the front area of the car, C is the drag coefficient and v is the velocity. For the Porsche 911, we can take A - 2.3 m^2 and C = 0.28. What is the power necessary to overcome...

1) It is friction that provides the force for a car to accelerate, so for high-performance cars the factor that limits acceleration isn't the engine; it's the tires. For typical rubber-on-concrete friction, what is the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph? Suppose that μs=1.00 and μk=0.80. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. 2) A 22 cm diameter bowling ball has a terminal speed of 69 m/s. Suppose...

A car travels at a constant velocity of 90 km/h along an
expressway under-ambient temperature and pressure conditions. The
width of the car is 1.5 m while its height is 1.2 m. The wheelbase
(length between the front and rear wheels) is 2.5 m. The drag
coefficient is 0.22.
[Use
air, ambient density of the air = 1.12 kg/m3 and,
fuel, density of the fuel = 930 kg/m3. You may neglect
any energy contained in the exhaust gases and any...
