Question

Motorcycle travel 90 mph accelerates to pass a truck five seconds later the car is going 120 mph calculate the acceleration

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Vc be the velocity of the car and I'm the velocity of the motorcycle. If we convert their given values, we get:

Vc = 87 km/h * 1000m / 1km * 1h / 3600s = 24.17m/s

Vm = 95 km/h * 1000m / 1km * 1h / 3600s = 26.38m/s

Since their positions are equal after 17s we can stablish that:

Where d is the initial separation distance of 54m. Solving for a, we get:
