Final answer:

The Dodge Tomahawk will take approximately 1.74 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time it takes for the Dodge Tomahawk to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr, we need to use the formula:

time = (final velocity - initial velocity) / acceleration

We know the initial velocity is 0 km/hr, the final velocity is 100 km/hr, and the acceleration is 15.9 m/s². First, we convert the velocities to m/s by multiplying by 1000/3600:

initial velocity = 0 km/hr * (1000 m/3600 s) = 0 m/s

final velocity = 100 km/hr * (1000 m/3600 s) = 27.78 m/s

Now we can plug these values into the formula:

time = (27.78 m/s - 0 m/s) / 15.9 m/s² = 1.74 s

So, it will take approximately 1.74 seconds for the Dodge Tomahawk to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr.
