Chapter 4, Problem 4.53P

DATA The table gives automobile performance data for a few types of cars:

Make and Model (Year)	Mass (kg)	Time (s) to go from 0 to 60 mph
Alpha Romeo 4C (2013)	895	4.4
Honda Civic 2.0i (2011)	1320	6.4
Ferrari F430 (2004)	1435	3.9
Ford Focus RS500 (2010)	1468	5.4
Volvo S60 (2013)	1650	7.2

(a) During an acceleration of 0 to 60 mph. which car has the largest average net force acting on it? The smallest? (b) During this acceleration, for which car would the average net force on a 72.0-kg passenger be the largest? The smallest? (c) When the Ferrari F430 accelerates from 0 to 100 mph in 8.6 s. what is the average net force acting on it? How does this net force compare with the average net force during the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph? Explain why these average net forces might differ. (d) Discuss why a car has a top speed. What is the net force on the Ferrari F430 when it is traveling at its top speed, 196 mph?
