-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Solving for engine horsepower using the trap speed method.
engine horsepower using the trap speed method
This method uses the speed or velocity at the end of a quarter mile run. It is u
sed to give an estimate of vehicle(car, truck, motorcycle) engine horsepower. We
ight should include the mass of the vehicle, driver and passenger.
