How far must a Bugatti veyron 16.4 have to travel reach 247 mph in 55 seconds?

To calculate the distance a Bugatti veyron 16.4 must travel to reach 247 mph in 55 seconds, we can use the formula:

```

distance = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * acceleration

```

where:

- distance is the distance travelled in metres

- final velocity is the final speed in metres per second

- initial velocity is the initial speed in metres per second (which we can assume to be 0 m/s)

- acceleration is the rate of acceleration in metres per second squared.

We know that the final velocity (Vf) is 247 mph, which is equivalent to approximately 110.2 m/s. The acceleration (a) of the Bugatti veyron 16.4 is approximately 1.3 g, which is equal to 12.74 m/s^2.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

```

distance = ((110.2 m/s)^2 - (0 m/s)^2) / 2 * 12.74 m/s^2

distance = 5,542.4 metres

```

Therefore, the Bugatti veyron 16.4 must travel approximately 5,542.4 metres to reach 247 mph in 55 seconds.
