Find the shortest time in which a car could accelerate

Reference no: EM13714343

Problem: It is friction that provides the force for a car to accelerate, so for high-performance cars the factor that limits acceleration isn't the engine; it's the tires.

Part A: For typical rubber-on-concrete friction, what is the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 80 mph?

Please explain how you came to your conclusion. Thanks.
