Answer: 3 m/s^2

Explanation: The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity:

We know that at the time t = 0 the velocity was 15 m/s

and at the time t = 3s the velocity was 24 m/s

Then the average acceleration may be calculated as the slope of the linear relationship between these two points; this is if the points are (0, 15) and (3, 24)

The slope is : S = (23 - 15)/(3 - 0)m/s^2 = 3m/s^2

So the average acceleration of the motorcycle in this period of time is 3 meters per second squared.

Answer: 3 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the motorcycle is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v=24 m/s is the final velocity of the motorcycle

u=15 m/s is the initial velocity

t=3 s is the time taken

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we find

a=\frac{24 m/s-15 m/s}{3 s}=\frac{9 m/s}{3s}=3 m/s^2

How can you be both at rest and also moving at 100,000 km/h at the same time
4vir4ik [10]

You could be lying completley still on your bed, and all though it seems you are at rest, you are moving along with the earth around the sun and hence are motion. This is why 'being at rest' is more of a relative term. Hope this helps!

An object traveling in a straight line accelerates. What will definitely happen due to the acceleration?
Damm [24]
"Acceleration" means any change in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or turning.  So . . .

<span>-- </span><span>The distance traveled in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The displacement covered in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The speed of the object may increase or decrease.

-- The velocity of the object (speed/direction) will change.

Hope this helps..

In which type of collision is no kinetic energy converted to heat or sound<br> energy?
mezya [45]

Answer:

elastic collision

An elastic collision occurs when the two objects "bounce" apart when they collide. Two rubber balls are a good example. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. Almost no energy is lost to sound, heat, or deformation.

I hope it's helpful!
