Question

A motorcyclist starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6m/s after travelling with constant acceleration for 3s. What is his acceleration?

Answer 1

As given, the motorcyclist starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6 m/s

after traveling with uniform acceleration for 3 seconds.

Here, initial velocity u=0

Final velocity v=6 m/s

Time t=3 sec.

Let the acceleration of the motorcycle be a.

On using the equation of motion, v=u+at

6=0+3×a

Or 3a=6

Or a=63

Or a=2 m/s2

→Therefore, the acceleration in a motorcycle is 2 m/s2.←
