physics

I thought a good way to practice physics problems would be to make every velocity, trajectory and friction problem be about me and my car. Trying to amass specifications...

Car (Saturn 1998 SC2)
M=2409 lbs = 1092.7 kg
v(max)=130 mph = 209 km/hr = 742.4 m/s
a(max)=0-60 mph = 0-96.54 km/hr = 0-347.54 m/s in 10 seconds = 34.65 m/s*s
F=ma = 36274.7 N

Me (1985 Human)
m=150 lbs = 68 kg
dorkiness=lvl 100
