<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules.
Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>
Answer:
t = 3.516 s
Explanation:
The most useful kinematic formula would be the velocity of the motorcylce as a function of time, which is:

Where v_0 is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. However the problem states that the motorcyle start at rest therefore v_0 = 0
If we want to know the time it takes to achieve that speed, we first need to convert units from km/h to m/s.
This can be done knowing that
1 km = 1000 m
1 h = 3600 s
Therefore
1 km/h = (1000/3600) m/s = 0.2777... m/s
100 km/h = 27.777... m/s
Now we are looking for the time t, for which v(t) = 27.77 m/s. That is:
27.777 m/s = 7.9 m/s^2 t
Solving for t
t = (27.7777 / 7.9) s = 3.516 s
