Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ m/s^2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. It is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the change in time. The formula is:


a= ( \Delta v)/(\Delta t) or
a= (v_f-v_i)/(\Delta t)

The change in velocity is the difference between the initial velocity and the final velocity. The motorcycle starts at rest, or 0 meters per second and reaches 6 meters per second. The change in time is 3 seconds.


\bullet \ v_f= 6 \ m/s\\\bullet \ v_i= 0 \ m/s \\\bullet \ \Delta t = 3 \ s

Substitute the values into the formula


a= \frac { 6 \ m/s - 0 m/s}{3 \ s}

Solve the numerator.


a= (6 \ m/s)/(3 \ s)


a= 2 \ m/s^2

The motorcyclist's acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.
