Kinematics
The Aston Martin One-77 can hit a maximum speed of 220 mph (98 m/s) (7)
The Aston Martin One-77 can accelerate to 100 km/h (28 m/s) in 3.7 seconds (8)
With these given values, determine the final velocity of an Aston Martin One-77 that accelerated from rest over a distance of 100 m. This is important to determine for possible collision scenarios.
Step 1: Here we are using our known values of final velocity and time (8) to determine the uniform acceleration of the car.
Step 2: With our newfound acceleration, we can solve for Vf using the kinematics formula shown.
At 38.9 m/s (140 km/h) an impact would easily damage the Aston Martin One-77, and possibly its driver. Therefore, it is safe to say that the driver should take precautions when accelerating with this vehicle, especially over distances of 100 m or more.
