Anyone who knows how to calculate the time a formel car will take from 0-75meter.

The specs are 110HP and weight is 300kg.

I've tried to calculate this without any luck..

Hello palaa87. Welcome to PF !

Please give the complete problem as stated.

Also, according to the Forum rules for Homework Help:
...
NOTE: You MUST show that you have attempted to answer your question in order to receive help. You MUST make use of the homework template, which automatically appears when a new topic is created in the homework help forums. ...

On helping with questions: Any and all assistance given to homework assignments or textbook style exercises should be given only after the questioner has shown some effort in solving the problem. If no attempt is made then the questioner should be asked to provide one before any assistance is given. ...
So, our hands are tied, until you show what you've tried.
