In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world recordfor an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way coursewas 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described bythe time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached hismaximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete thecourse?

Question

In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record
for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,
with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way course
was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by
the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/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?
