Your "Relevant Equation" is not an equation, and looks to be incorrect anyway...brycenrg said:
That would equal zero... Equations have an equal sign between the lefthand side (LHS) and RHS...brycenrg said:
So w = 0.brycenrg said:
I don't know offhand. I would have to look at the equations for the energies involved in this problem...brycenrg said:
In real life, you use equations to understand the situation.brycenrg said:
The only equation I have learned so far is W = KEf-KEiberkeman said:

Since you just made up the problem to try to understand it better, I'll show you how to use equations to figure it out.brycenrg said:
Not really. You would need to make your question more specific. If you are asking why a car that can go 0-60 in 3 seconds gets worse fuel economy than the car that can only do it in 8 seconds, the reason is it takes a more powerful engine to accelerate faster. And more powerful engines tend to get lower gas mileage.brycenrg said:
No, the question you asked was accelerating to the same speed, not the same distance...brycenrg said:
To get the higher power, you need to consume fuel at a faster rate, hence the lower gas mileage when you punch it.brycenrg said:
No, a car's 0-60 time does not directly correlate with its energy output. The 0-60 time is simply a measure of how quickly a car can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour. Other factors such as engine power, weight, and aerodynamics also play a role in a car's energy efficiency.
Yes, a car with a slower 0-60 time can still have more energy than a faster car. This is because energy is not solely determined by acceleration, but also by factors such as torque and horsepower. A car with a slower 0-60 time may have a more powerful engine, resulting in higher energy output.
A car's 0-60 time does not have a direct impact on its energy efficiency. However, a faster 0-60 time may indicate that the car has a more efficient engine and can convert fuel into energy more efficiently. Additionally, a car with a slower 0-60 time may require more energy to maintain high speeds, resulting in lower energy efficiency.
No, a car with a faster 0-60 time is not always better. While a faster acceleration may be desirable for some drivers, it is not the only factor to consider when evaluating a car's performance. Other factors such as handling, braking, and fuel efficiency also play a significant role in overall performance.
No, a car's 0-60 time cannot be directly improved to increase its energy output. However, improving the car's engine and other components can result in a faster 0-60 time and potentially increase its overall energy efficiency. It is important to note that this improvement may also result in a higher energy demand, depending on the specific modifications made to the car.
