Homework Statement



Could I please have peoples opinions on the below?

1. A car has a mass of 1000 kg and travels from 0 to 80 km h–1 in 10 s. It
then keeps moving at 80 km h–1.
(a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration in the first 10 s?
(b) How far does it move in the first 10 s?
(c) What force does the engine of the car provide to achieve this
acceleration?
(d) If the two drive wheels of the car are 500 mm in diameter, what is
their rotational speed when the car is traveling at 80 km h–1?
