Question

Calculate the speed of a bike rider who accelerates (from rest) for 5 seconds down a hill at an acceleration of 8

m/s2

Answer 1

speed=abs(v)=40ms^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration, a = (v-u)/t

since initial velocity u=0 (at rest) and a=8ms^-2,

8=v/5

hence after 5 seconds, v=40ms^-1
