Could that be done with a solar furnace?

[Boring math follows]

343.52 km/h = 95.4 m/s

It accelerated for 2.5 seconds, so it traveled for somewhere near 239 m while accelerating.

239^.4 = 8.94 m/sē

60 MPH = 96.5606 KPH = 26.8224 m/s
8.94 m/sē = 26.8224 m/s
sē = 26.8224/8.94
√sē = √3.000268 = 1.732128
