a motorcycle begins at rest and accelerates uniformly at 7.9 m/s2. We want to find the time it takes the motorcycle to reach a speed of 100 km/h. Which kinetic formula would be most useful to solve for the target unknown?

Answer:3.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

initial velocity=u=0

Final velocity=v=100km/h

Final velocity=v=(100x5)/18=500/18=27.8 m/s

Acceleration=a=7.9m/s^2

t=(v-u)/a

t=(27.8-0)/7.9

t=27.8/7.9

t=3.5 seconds
