Question

A bicycle increases it's velocity from 10km/h to 15km/h in 6 seconds . Calculate it's acceleration.

Answer 1

answer is

u=10km/h =10 X 5/18 = 2.9 m/s

v=15km/h =15 X 5/18 = 4.1 m/s

t=6 sec

a=?

We know,

a= v-u/t

=2.9 - 4.1/6

= - 1.2/6

= - 0.2 m/s²

Answer 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.
