<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:

Speed = distance ÷ time

So plug the given values in:

500 ÷ 30 = 16.66

<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

$F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

$C_d$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

$F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}$

Equating both equations we have:

$m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

$m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

Integrating

$\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t$

Here,

$V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s$

$V_i = 120.7m/s$

$m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg$

$\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3$

$C_d = 0.3$

$\Delta t=7s$

Replacing:

$\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)$

$-0.029 = -5.4997r^2$

$r = 2.2963m$

$d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft$
