The estimated velocity v (in miles per hour) of a car at the end of a drag race is v=234 3√p/w (cube root) , where p is the hors
epower of the car and w is the weight (in pounds) of the car. a car has a horsepower of 1311 and weighs 2744 pounds. find the velocity of the car at the end of a drag race. round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Given that <span>v=234 3√p/w (cube root) where </span><span> p is the horsepower of the car and w is the weight (in pounds) of the car v is the velocity in miles per hour
p = 1311 hp w = 2744 lb substitute the given value to the equation to solve for the velocity
v = 234 </span><span>3√(1311 / 2744) v = 183 miles per hour is the velocity of a car at the end of a drag race.</span>
