Answer
given,
initial speed,u = 0 m/s
final speed,v = 24.8 m/s
time, t= 5.9 s
a) acceleration,
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{24.8 - 0}{5.9}[/tex]
a = 4.20 m/s²
b) distance to travel in that time
using equation of motion
v² = u² + 2 as
24.8² = 0² + 2 x 4.20 x s
8.4 s = 615.04
s = 73.22 m
the motorcycle will travel 73.22 m
