Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration, a = 6 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

The police department is excited to have some new motorcycle units. one officer said that these motorcycles can go from 0 miles per hour to 80 miles per hour in just 6 seconds.

Initial speed of motorcycle, u = 0

Final speed, v = 80 miles/h = 35.8 m/s

Time taken, t = 6 s

The officer is describing the motorcycle's acceleration and it can be calculated by :

$a=\dfrac{35.8\ m/s}{6\ s}$

a = 5.966 m/s²

or a = 6 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the motorcycle is 6 m/s².

Answer 2

Accelartion because he said how it reached 80 mph in just 6 seconds
