The fastest time ever run at Pikes Peak is 7:57.
That’s way too long. If we removed all the curves, making a
straight line from top to bottom, how quickly could a Challenger
SRT®Hellcat Redeye
reach the top?
ProTips
Slope of 6.4%
Redeye top speed 203 mph
A stock Redeye has a peak acceleration of over 1g.
Assume this Redeye will accelerate at an average of .091 g (2.93
ft/s2)
The 12.42 mile long Pike’s Peak course has over 156
turns
What you might need:
A calculator
The internet (unit conversions)
A smart friend
Some kinematic equations:
d=v^2/2a
t=v_f/a
t=d_remaining/v_f
Here we can solve the whole problem with the given three equation in question itself.
Just find the two time and add them to get the final result.
