A motorcycle of weight 1.9 kN accelerates from 0 to 87.4 km/h in 5.2 s. What are the magnitudes of (a) the constant acceleration and (b) the net force causing the acceleration?

(a) 4.67 m/s²

(b) 905.42 N

Explanation:

Given:

Weight, w = 1.9 kN

       weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

           1.9 kN = mass × 9.8 m/s²

             mass =

                       = 193.88 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity, v = 87.4 km/h

converting to m/s = = 24.28 m/s

Time, t = 5.2 s

From equation of motion;

                      v = u + at

                    24.28 = 0 + 5.2a

                   5.2a = 24.28

                        a = 4.67 m/s²

(b) From Netwon's second law of motion, the force acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration experienced by the body.

                       F = mass × acceleration

                       F = 193.88 × 4.67

                      F = 905.42 N

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
