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 82.1 m/s. the one-way course was 8.045 km long. if it took burt 4.00 s to reach a velocity of 26.82 m/sec, how long (in seconds) did it take burt to reach his maximum speed? how far (in meters) did he travel during his acceleration? look at the equations in the last section. find acceleration first, then the time to accelerate to 82.1 m/s, then the x displacement during the time elapsed.

if the person is shown to have +90n, then ans is -10n.

if the person is shown to have -90n, then ans is +10n.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
