In this chapter, we have discussed but not derived, an equation for the transient inertial limited response to engine power and to windage losses. The equation is

2(At)(P(engine) – P(losses)) m


in which P(engine) and P(losses), respectively, are the engine’s power output and the air resistance losses. The vehicle has mass m. Starting with Newton’s Law of motion, derive this equation in which the vehicle has sped up to St+1 from St in a time interval of △t.
