Answer:

1 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Using

a = (v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where a = accelartion of the bicycle, v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 15 m/s, u = 5 m/s, t = 10 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

a = (15-5)/10

a = 10/10

a = 1 m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the bicycle is 1 m/s²
