Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (37 km/hr) - (89 km/hr) = -52 km/hr

Acceleration = (-52 km/hr) / (6 sec)

Acceleration = (-26/3) km/(hr·sec)

Units: (1/hr·sec) · (hr/3600 sec) = 1 / 3600 sec²

(-26/3) km/(hr·sec) = (-26/3) km/(3600 sec²)

= -26,000/(3 · 3600) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = -2.41 m/s²</em>

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

9.12267515924 m/s²

Explanation:

Here the moment created by the wheels and the moment created by the center of gravity will balance each other.

h = Height of the center of mass = 78.5 cm

d =  Distance from back wheel to the center of mass = \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Horizontal acceleration

The equation is of the form

mgd=Fh\\\Rightarrow mgd=mah\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{gd}{h}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{9.81\times \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}}{78.5\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=9.12267515924\ m/s^2

The horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle that will make the front wheel rise off the ground is 9.12267515924 m/s²

Iteru [2.4K]
The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.

Air pressure is created by the weight of the atmosphere pushing on Earth’s surface.

Denser air is heavier than less dense air.

Air is less dense at higher altitudes.
