Calc Inferno Cop - American Racing Grand Prix

Calculations
0:51


Inferno Cop participates in a race across America, which occurs in less than two minutes. From coast to coast, it would be between 2,500 miles to 3,500 miles (or 4023.36km to 5632.704km). Could not be easier.


Timeframe is a minute and 43 seconds, or 103 seconds.

(Low end)

T = 4023.36km/103s
= 39061.7476/340.29
= Mach 114.789584

(High end)

T = 5632.704km/103s
= 54686.4466/340.29
= Mach 160.705418

That's mighty fast, and I'm not one to pass up a chance of kinetic energy. As an estimate, the weight of a Formula 1 racing car is 740kg.

(Low end)

KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 740 X 39061.7476^2
= 5.64553446e11 joules
= 134.931511950287 tons of TNT

(High end)

KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 740 X 54686.4466^2
= 1.10652475e12 joules
= 264.4657624282983 tons of TNT

Final Results
Inferno Cop races across America (speed - low end) = Mach 114.79
Inferno Cop races across America (speed - high end) = Mach 160.705
Inferno Cop races across America (energy - low end) = 134.932 tons of TNT
Inferno Cop races across America (energy - high end) = 264.466 tons of TNT
