Question

Rank the following sports cars by the net force from greatest to least required to produce the given motion. Assume a constant acceleration for each car.
A Lamborghini Gallardo of mass mL = 1430 kg starts with a speed of 9.16 m/s and goes a distance of d = 102 m in a time of t = 4.25 s.
A Bugatti Veyron of mass mB = 1890 kg goes from 15.5 to 65.5 mph over a distance of d = 40.5 m.
A Dodge Viper of mass mD = 1570 kg goes from 15.5 to 85.5 mph in a time of t = 4.08 s.
A Nissan GT-R of mass mN = 1680 kg goes from 11.2 to 38.8 m/s over a distance of d = 68.8 m.

Answer 1

A Lamborghini Gallardo of mass mL = 1430 kg starts with a speed of 9.16 m/s and goes a distance of d = 102 m in a time of t = 4.25 s.

F = m(v^2-u^2)/2S

F= 588N

A Bugatti Veyron of mass mB = 1890 kg goes from 15.5 to 65.5 mph over a distance of d = 40.5 m.

F=19023 N

A Dodge Viper of mass mD = 1570 kg goes from 15.5 to 85.5 mph in a time of t = 4.08 s.

F = 12040 N

A Nissan GT-R of mass mN = 1680 kg goes from 11.2 to 38.8 m/s over a distance of d = 68.8 m.

F = 16849 N
