A car has a mass of 800 kg and its conversion efficiency of fuel to energy at the wheels is 18%. (a) Find the amount of fuel in litres required to accelerate the car from rest to 100 km/h. The fuel used has energy content of 1.3x10^8 J/gal.

(b) During cruise mode of driving the same car’s mileage is listed as 16.3 km/litre. Compare the distance travelled by the car using the same volume of fuel calculated in part (a) in cruising mode versus the distance travelled by the car when accelerating. Assume it takes 10 seconds to accelerate from rest to 100 km/h and constant acceleration.
