In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle,
on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, 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?
There are two parts to the race: an acceleration part and a constant speed part.
First, we need to determine how long (both in distance and time) it takes the
60 mph

motorcycle to finish accelerating. During acceleration, a

(a) A world record was set for the men’s 100-m dash in the 2008 Olympic Games in
Beijing by Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Bolt “coasted” across the finish line with a time of
9.69 s. If we assume that Bolt accelerated for 3.00 s to reach his maximum speed,
and maintained that speed for the rest of the race, calculate his maximum speed
and his acceleration. (b) During the same Olympics, Bolt also set the world record in
the 200-m dash with a time of 19.30 s. Using the same assumptions as for the 100-m
dash, what was his maximum speed for this race?
(a) There are two parts to the race and must be treated separately since
acceleration is not uniform over the race. We will divide the race into x, (while
accelerating) and x, (with constant speed), where x, +x, =100m.
When the speed is constant, 1 = 6.69, 50 x, = r= (6.69s)y=100m=x,.
When accelerating,
3.0050 x, ata? =i = (1.50)v. Plugging x, into
the previous equation, we get his maximum speed:
