Question

The mass of the motorbike and rider is 286 kg. Calculate the acceleration of the motorbike at this moment in time.

Answer 1

Answer:

$a=4.03\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the motorbike and rider is 286 kg.

We need to find the acceleration of the motorbike at this moment in time.

Net force acting on the bike is given by :

F = 2000 N - 845 N = 1155 N

Let a be the acceleration of the motorbike. So,

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{1155}{286}\\\\a=4.03\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the motorbike is $4.03\ m/s^2$.
