Question

A bicycle starting from rest picks up a velocity of 5 m/s over a time period of 100s. Find the acceleration of the bi-cycle.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 5 m/s

Time taken = 100 s

So, acceleration = v-u/t

= (5 m/s-0m/s/100s)

= 5 m/s/100 s

= 5/100 m/s^2

= 1/20 m/s^2

= 0.05 m/s^2
