Answer:
Acceleration = 15 m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time.
In terms of Formula it is written as:
⇒ Acceleration = ( V - U ) / t
Where,
- V is the final Velocity
- U is the initial Velocity
- t is the time taken
According to the question, the scooter starts from rest. Therefore U is 0 km/hr. V is given too be 54 km/hr. Time taken is 15 seconds.
Since Time is in seconds we will convert the speeds to m/s.
⇒ U = 0 km/hr = 0 m/s
⇒ V = 54 km/hr = 5/18 × 54 = 15 m/s
Now Substituting in the formula we get,
⇒ Acceleration = ( 15 - 0 ) / 15
⇒ Acceleration = 15 / 15 = 1 m/s²
Hence the acceleration of the scooter is 1 m/s².
Hope it helped !!
