What is the equivalent energy in grams required to accelerate a car to sixty miles per hour in 15 seconds.
Data:
The car weighs 2800 pounds.
One pound equals 453.59 grams.
One mile equals 1.6 kilometers.
The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
Calculation:
(2800 x 453.59 x 1.6 / (60 x 9)) x 10 ^ -10
= 3.768 x 10 ^ -7
= 0.0000002768 grams
Next blog will cover why this is useless information.
