Answer:

6.64 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Average acceleration is defined as follows:


a=(v-u)/(t)

where

v is the final velocity of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken to accelerate from u to v

In this problem, we have:


u=0 m/s (the motorcycle starts from rest)


v=28.0 m/s is the final velocity


t=4.22 s is the time taken

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find


a=(28.0 m/s-0)/(4.22 s)=6.64 m/s^2
