Question

A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 8 m/s in 2 seconds. What is his acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

The acceleration is 4 m/s.

Answer 2

Given :

Intial Velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final Velocity (v) = 8 m/s

Time (t) = 2 seconds

To Find :

Acceleration of the Cyclist .

Solution :

We know that,

$\boxed{ \bf Acceleration = \frac{ Final \: Velocity - Initial \: Velocity}{Time}}$

$\rm⇢ \: \: a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

$\rm⇢ \: \: a = \frac{8 - 0}{2}$

$\rm⇢ \: \: a = 4 {ms}^{ - 1}$

FINAL ANSWER :

Acceleration of the Cyclist is 4ms⁻¹ .
