Physics Analysis: Tesla Cybertruck vs. Porsche 911

I think Jason’s video is quite nice, but I wasn’t completely happy with his analysis. That means I’m just going to have to do it myself. For fun. Let’s start with a video analysis of the race from the Tesla video. Just as Jason does, I’m going to find the 1/8th mile times for the two cars. You don’t have to literally count frames like he does — instead you can get a program to do it for you. I really like <a href="https://physlets.org/tracker/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Tracker Video Analysis</a> — it can give you position-time data from the frames in a video. From that, I get the Cybertruck time of 8.541 seconds and the 911 with 8.708 seconds. We can use this time to get the average acceleration — in just a bit. <a href="https://rjallain.medium.com/physics-analysis-tesla-cybertruck-vs-porsche-911-90da553e83a4">Visit Now</a>
