If you are test-driving a bugatti veyron and you go from 0 km/s to 124 km/s in 3.7 seconds, wha was your acceleration ?

a  = 9.31 m/s²

Explanation:

Here we can assume that car is moving in a constant acceleration

There for we can use motion equation to find the acceleration

but we need to convert all units in to SI units

V = 124 × 1000 / 3600

V = 34. 44 m/s

U = 0 m/s

V = U + at

34.44 = 0 + a×3.7

a  = 9.31 m/s²

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
