Where are the rocket cars?

It's 2011; we were supposed to have rocket cars and jet packs. The cars we drive are essentially the same car that was made by Henry Ford.

i will cut up my answer into 2 significant eventualities, (A) and (B) difficulty (A) "initiate time" of rocket automobile and the bullet is in attention (a.a million) the rocket automobile starts off and the gun/rifle is shot concurrently, or on the comparable time (a.2) the rocket automobile starts off AFTER the gun/rifle is shot (a.3) the rocket automobile starts off earlier the gun/rifle is shot all those situations (a.a million) to (a.3) : the rocket automobile desires acceleration from 0 0 speed (stand nevertheless) while the bullet selections up speed (hundreds of feet/sec) in basically a cut up 2d, so... my estimation is... because of the fact the rocket automobile's acceleration is a lot some distance from the bullet's acceleration, by ability of the time the bullet deccelerate to basically few feet/2d (approximately to hit the floor) the automobile's speed is very very nearly to realize hundreds of feet/sec OR nevertheless desires some extra seconds to realize hundreds of feet/sec. difficulty (B) we are speaking the value by myself, the max speed of the rocket automobile and the max speed of the bullet, and not paying interest to the time OR initiate time by any ability. in this difficulty, as you will discover the rocket automobile can exceed or overtake the muzzle speed of an M1911 (.40 5 ACP) = 830 feet/sec (JLynes's records,above) while the rocket automobile is 1119 feet/sec. so.. the question : * Rocket automobile traveling quicker or as speedy as a bullet? sure (against specific form of bullet) * you will discover it in sluggish action ? sure applying extremely-hi speed digicam(s), able to hundreds (or extra) frames/sec * yet... while rocket automobile and bullet are placed area-by ability of-area and the two starts off concurrently (or whether the automobile starts off seconds earlier) there is now way the automobile could be merely before the bullet, because of the fact rocket automobile's acceleration is a lot some distance under the bullet, if rocket automobile's acceleration is the comparable because of the fact the bullet, any living element interior it (human otherwise) would desire to alter into Jello/Jelly because of the extremely extreme-G it suffers (extreme-G - pressed against the seat) on the 1st cut up 2d it starts off !!! Bullet's acceleration is 0 feet/sec to 800-2500 feet/sec in cut up 2d !!! no living element can stay to tell the tale that acceleration !!! yet, rocket automobile can exceed better than 1100 feet/sec at its max speed. (please variety between acceleration and speed)

We do have the new Nissan Leaf, which is a huge step for us. It's 100% electric. And we do have jet packs, they're just not open to the public, they had it on the Macy's day parade in NYC.
