Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 93P
A vehicle is built to try for the land-speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats, elevation 4400 ft. The engine delivers 500 hp to the rear wheels, and careful streamlining has resulted in a drag coefficient of 0.15, based on a 15 ft2 frontal area. Compute the theoretical maximum ground speed of the car (a) in still air and (b) with a 20 mph headwind.
