Hello!

A motorcycle is moving at a constant velocity of 15 meters/second. Then it starts to accelerate and reaches a velocity of 24 meters/second in 3 seconds. What’s the acceleration of the motorcycle over this time?

We have the following data:

V (final velocity) = 24 m/s

Vo (initial velocity) = 15 m/s

ΔV  (speed interval)  = V - Vo → ΔV  = 24 - 15 → ΔV  = 9 m/s

ΔT (time interval) = 3 s

a (average acceleration) = ? (in m/s²)

Formula:

Solving:

3 m/s²
