A person lakes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except, for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h, (a) how much time is spent on the trip and (b) how far does the person travel?
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, of 295.38 km/h. The one-way course was 8.00 km long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 96.0 km/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete the course?
