Question

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.80g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode along, what would the car's acceleration be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 15.1 g

Explanation:

The relation between mass and acceleration is given by :

$m\propto \dfrac{1}{a}$

If a₁ = 0.80g, m₁ = 1510 kg, m₂ = 80 kg, we need to find a₂

So,

$\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{a_1m_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{0.8g\times 1510}{80}\\\\a_2=15.1g$

So, the car's acceleration would be 15.1 g.
