Given :
Initial speed , u = 0 m/s .
Final speed , v = 91 km/h = 25.28 m/s .
To Find :
a) Average acceleration .
b ) Assuming the motorcycle maintained a constant acceleration, how far is it from the traffic light after 3.3 s .
Solution :
a )
We know ,by equation of motion :
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{25.28^2-0^2}{2\times 47}\ m/s^2\\\\a=6.8\ m/s^2[/tex]
b)
Also , by equation of motion :
[tex]s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{6.8\times (3.3)^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=37.02\ m[/tex]
Hence , this is the required solution .
