Question

a bicycle increase its velocity from 10 km per hour to 15 km per hour in 6 seconds calculate its acceleration

Answer 1

u=10 km/h=2.7m/s
v=15 km/h=4.16 m/s
t=6 sec
a=v-u/t
a=1.46 m/s^2

Answer 2

Aɴꜱᴡᴇʀ

$\huge{\sf\red{a=3.706{ms}^{2}}}$

Initial velocity of bicycle = 10kmph

Final velocity of bicycle = 15kmph

Time interval = 6s

Acceleration of the bicycle

_________________

Sᴛᴇᴘꜱ

We know that,

Acceleration is defined as ratio of change in velocity to the time interval.

Converstion :-

1kmph = 5/18mps

15kmph = 4.17mps

10kmph = 2.78mps

Then,

$\begin{lgathered} \boxed{\sf\:a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}}\\ \\ \leadsto\sf\:a=\dfrac{4.17-2.78}{6}\\ \\ \dashrightarrow\:{\sf{\pink{\large{a=3.706\:ms^{-2}}}}}\end{lgathered}$

$\large \tt \bigstar{}Additional \: information$

Acceleration is a vector quantity.

Accelerataion has both magnitude as well as direction.

Acceleration can be positive, negative and zero.
