A race car on Bonneville flats is operated by a jet engine. The jet fuel is consumed at a rate of k = 8.76 moving at a constant speed of 298.54 relative to the car. The car experiences a resistance of 2kv, where v is the speed of the car. The initial weight of the car is half car and half fuel. What is the speed of the car at the instant it runs out of fuel?
