Problem #2: A typical compact car with a full tank of gasoline contains 600 MJ of chemical energy. If the car has a weight of 10 kN, what is the maximum speed in miles- per-hour the car could obtain by accelerating from rest neglecting drag or friction, and assuming all the fuel energy is converted to kinetic energy? Why can't the car attain this speed?
