Formula 1, FIA, Safety car "SC", What is SC minimum speed
214251
65mph is the minimum but there is no maximum

no thanks. too crazy for me. I'll stick to Formula 1. I would love to drive one of those.

I would definitely recommend SCCA Racing.  The local chapters have vehicle classes which are appropriate for lower budgets, lower speeds, and more realistic race scenarious for younger drivers.  \n\nFor example my friends used to drive small hondas and nissans with 4 cylinder engines and carburetors which were very simple to maintain.  The biggest expense is putting a safety cage in the vehicle.  If you are handy with a tube bender and a MIG welder, you can do it yourself.  \n\nSCCA holds events locally in parking lots.  They set up cones and have judges.  HAVE FUN!!\n\nOOPS--you live in India--i am not sure SCCA is in inda.  SORRY!

the speeds are too small, so classical mechanics should be fine:\n\nthe speed of the car is 45-10 = 35mph

Junior Dragsters race on the eighth-mile.  The quickest dial-in they are allowed to use is 7.90 seconds and most running that quickly run the eighth at a tick over 80 mph. MANY are capable of covering the distance much quicker and faster than that.  Additional weight and clutch settings are used to slow the cars down.  They sometimes hold 330' shootouts, with times dipping down into the 4.20 range.  No MPH info is available for those 330 shootouts because there are no MPH clocks at the 330 mark.\n\nI have seen the MOTHER of a junior dragster driver jump into her kid's machine and run the eighth mile in the low sevens at almost 90 MPH.  \n\nInsurance regulations and safety concern are the main limiting factor of the performance of junior dragsters.  They are not TOYS as some people think, but very SERIOUS race cars!!!!!

Between 30 and 40 mph.

A Formula One car is much lighter and faster than anything used in NASCAR. However, I believe the fastest sustained speed in road racing is at Le Mans, specifically along the Mulsanne Straight where, Le Mans-type sportscars, at one time reached speeds of 405 km/h (251.7 mph).\nMonza, the venue for the Italian Grand Prix is, I believe the fastest track on the F1 circuit; last year Kimi Raikkonen's pole-winning speed was 257.855 Km/h (160.223 mph) and Juan Pablo Montoya won the race at an average speed of 247.097 Km/h (153.538 mph).\nFernando Alonso's speed of 231.620 km/h (143.921 mph) secured the pole for last year's British GP and Juan Pablo Montoya won the race at an average speed of 218.968 km/h (136.060 mph).

The correct answer is C, although it can vary slightly depending on the vehicle, suspension set-up, and braking system

hot rides?\nu can look 4 american muscle (plenty of power) they can out power a ferrari or cars like lambo porsche mercedes corvette or honda. these are not any normal cars they are called supercars 4 a reason. they can go to a top speed of over 200m/h and can go from 0-60 in 4 secs. with these rides you will never loss a drag race with ur friends.

Mclaren F1 able to comfortably reach speeds in excess of 240 right out of the box

I disagree on that. You can get some cars faster than a porsche or ferrari. And for alot less money. Seen fast and the furious? The black car he races on the highway is a ferrari. A movie I know but it can and has been done.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Department of Transportation conduct scientific tests using various types and sizes of vehicles to determine the safest speeds that vehicles should travel on exit ramps and other roadways.  These tests use on-board computers that measure various scientific calculations.  In a nutshell, those little yellow speed limits signs, called prima-facia speed limits, are the fastest speeds that the worst types of vehicles can take the ramp and still be safe.  For example, let's say you drive a Ford Mustang.  It's designed to handle better than a SUV or 18 wheeler.  You could probably take the exit ramp at the full speed and be OK.  However, try that in an SUV or a fully loaded tanker truck and the outcome would not be pretty.  Besides, you might run into someone like me who will be telling you to "sign here, press hard, five copies."  Or even worse, you might be carried away in an ambulance or a hearse.

I hope it's true. If that would be true, then it would prove that the ego of the Americans is too big and it deflates as soon as they see that others know how to do certain stuff, like race cars, way better than they do.\n\nToo bad they removed your question before. They didn't bare being reminded that Europeans create much better race cars.\nThat Lotus 7 was just the start. Today, there are sooooooooo many cars that are made in Europe and are way better. American cars are designed for long straight roads. European cars are designed for both that and the twistiest roads in the mountains.\n\n\nUK is still good in motor racing. The Renault chassis has been manufactured from 2002 onwards at Enstone, and looking on the map, you might find out it's in Oxfordshire.

It really depends on the vehicle and the driver. If you are experienced with manual transmissions, most "normal/everyday" cars are faster in manual. However, there are some high end models whose auto is faster (even driven by a novice) than the manual version driven by a professional race car driver. One example of this is the new (2007) Porsche 911 Turbo, which goes 0-60mph in 4 seconds with a manual transmission (with professional test driver) and goes 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds with the automatic transmission (in auto mode, not tiptronic).

a. 1.10 MJ\n\nEnergy = mass * acceleration * distance = m * a * s\n\nm = 1600 kg\nAssume that the car is accelerating at 1 m/s^2 =>  a = 1\n\nIt would take 25 seconds for a car accelerating at 1 m/s^2 to go from 15 m/s to 40 m/s.\n\nThe average velocity during the acceleration is (15 + 40)/2 = 27.5 m/s.\n\nThe distance, s, is 27.5 m/s * 25 seconds = 687.5 m\n\nm*s*a = 1600 kg * 1 m/s^2 * 687.5 m = 1.1 e6 J = 1.1 MJ\n\nIf you assume another acceleration (let's say 5 m/s^2) you will get the same because the same amount of work is being done.

Let the speed of the car be v. The centripetal force for the car to go in a circle is provided by the friction in this case. That is \nFrictional force = m*v^2 / r\nIf this works out greater than the max static frictional force, the car will skid. Hence the max. speed is given by\nm*v^2 / r = Us*m*g\nv = sqrt ( Us*r*g) = sqrt ( 0.8*77*10) = 24.8 m/s\n\nFrom the above equation for v it is clear that the max speed is independent of the mass.
