The mass of Tesla Model S is 2000 kg and its engine produces 400 Nm of torque. The Mercedes-Benz S Class is 50% heavier, (MBenz= 1.5·MTesla)and the Benz engine produces 50% more torque than the Tesla. For this problem we consider those cars as solid cylinders of the same radius, rolling down the road. What is the ratio of power generated by the engines 6 seconds after a start from rest? (ratio = Tesla Model S/Benz S Class)   a) 1/2 b) 2/3 c) 1 d) 3/2 e) 9/4
