Question: A 2 0 0 8 Chevy Camaro SS has a mass of 1 7 0 0 kg and it can accelerate from 0 to 3

A 2008 Chevy Camaro SS has a mass of 1700 kg and it can accelerate from 0 to 30ms(67mph) in about 5 seconds. A model for the velocity during this period (in ms) as a function of time (in s) is,
v[t]=-65t2+12t
a) Calculate the power (in hp ) required. Note: This part does not need calculus.
b) The net force is the force applied from the engine minus any resistive forces. Derive an expression for the net force as a function of time.
c) Derive an expression for power vs. time. What is the maximum value of power and when does it occur? (Use calculus rather than graphing techniques to find the maximum).
d) Use calculus to find the average value of power and verify that it matches your result from part a.
