Question

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s/s for 6 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s? Round your answer to a whole number.

Answer 1

Given:

The initial speed of the motorcycle is,

`u=25\text{ m/s}`

The acceleration is,

`a=6\text{ m/s/s}`

The time interval is,

`t=6\text{ s}`

The final speed is given by,

`v=u+at`

Substituting the values we get,

`\begin{gathered} v=25+(6*6) \\ =61\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the final speed is 61 m/s.
