Homework Statement
A top fuel drag racer with a mass of 500.0 kg completes a quarter-mile (402 m) drag race in a time of 4.3 s starting from rest. The car's final speed is 115 m/s. What is the engine's average power output? Neglect friction and air resistance.
Homework Equations
P = W/T
The Attempt at a Solution
P = W/T
W=FD
F=MA =500*26.744 = 13372
..plugged in for W/T ... (13372 * 402 /4.3 )/ 1000
This has not gotten me far!
Please help and explain! THANKS!
