Question

A bicycle and a car start their journey at the same time the cyclist reaches it's top speed of 10mls in 15 the car reaches a speed if 15 MLS in55 which has the greater acceleration the car or the bicycle

Answer 1

Complete question is;

A bicycle and a car start their journey at the same time the cyclist reaches it's top speed of 10m/s in 15 s, the car reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 55 s. which has the greater acceleration the car or the bicycle.

Answer:

The bicycle has the greater acceleration.

Explanation:

Cyclist reaches a top speed of 10m/s in 15 s.

Formula for acceleration here is;

a = v/t

a = 10/15

a = 0.67 m/s²

Car reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 55 s.

Thus;

a = 15/55

a = 0.27 m/s²

From the 2 acceleration values gotten, we can say that;

The bicycle has the greater acceleration.
