Answer:

[tex] \therefore [/tex] The acceleration of the motorcycle is 2.5 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the problem, we can see that the motorcycle is moving at 10 m/s. Since it has no change of velocity we can use the formula:

  • [tex] \boxed{\bold{ a = \frac{ \triangle v}{\triangle t}}}[/tex]

Where:

  • a is the acceleration
  • ∆v is the velocity or can be also known as speed
  • ∆t is the time

We gotta do is substitute the given then divide the velocity/speed to time to get the acceleration.

[tex] a = \frac{10}{4} [/tex]

[tex] a = 2.5 [/tex]

[tex] \therefore [/tex] The acceleration of the motorcycle is 2.5 m/s²

ACCELERATION

Given:

Velocity = 10 m/s

Time = 4 seconds

Solution:

[tex]\sf A = \frac{velocity}{time}[/tex]

[tex]\sf A = \frac{10 \ m/s}{4 \ s}[/tex]

[tex]\sf A = 2.5 m/s^{2}[/tex]

↬ Therefore the acceleration of the motorcycle is 2.5 m/s^2
