Question

A motorcycle moving with a speed of 5 m/s is subjected to an acceleration of 0.2 m/s² . Calculate the speed of the motorcycle after 10 seconds, and the distance travelled in this time.

Answer 1

Initial velocity, u=5m/s

Final velocity, v=?

Acceleration, a=0.2m/s²

Time, t=10 sec

Using , v=u + at

v=5 + 0.2 x 10

v=5 + 2 =7 m/s

Now distance travelled in time is calculated;
