Question

6.Riding his bike, Mike can start from rest and get going at 10 m/s in 4 seconds. Joy can get

going 15 m/s in 5 seconds. Who has a greater acceleration? How do you know?

Answer 1

Joy has a greater acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike

v = v₀ + at

10 = 0 + 4a

a = 2.5 m/s²

Joy

v = v₀ + at

15 = 0 + 5a

a = 3 m/s²

--

Using the UAM equations, we can determine that Joy's acceleration is 3 m/s² while Mike's acceleration is only 2.5 m/s².
