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 BL11t accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete the course?
Answer the following questions. (True or False) a. Motion and acceleration are not the same quantity. b. The speed of an accelerated body changes with time. c. A body can be accelerating even when it is not moving. d. The velocity of an accelerated body changes with time. e. The acceleration of a body with zero speed is zero.
