That doesnât always apply, of course, since the two Presidentâs who presided over the ill-advised war in Vietnam both served in the military during World War II, and that didnât seem to prevent either Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson from making decision about the war that seem to be quite foolhardy in retrospect.
A modern F1 car can accelerate to 62 mph in less than two seconds, pull more Gs than a Space Shuttle launch, and hit a top speed over 200 MPH in qualifying.t first glance, this sounds a lot like a smaller version of the V8 you could find in many carsâ until you realize that F1 engines routinely rev up to 18,000 RPM. Thanks to all those revs, they produce about 300 HP/L for a total output of around 750 HP or more.
That 60 mph translates to 88 feet per second, and when we divide 88 fps by the acceleration of gravity (32 fps/sec), we find that a generic object falling toward Earth will reach 60 mph in a time of 2.73 seconds. To beat gravity, our cars must be faster than 2.73 seconds in a 0â60 mph sprint. (No, cars don't accelerate at a constant rate, but for this exercise we used 0â60 times because the data are readily available).
