The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 146 cm. The center of mass ofthe motorcycle, including the rid

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

9.12267515924 m/s²

Explanation:

Here the moment created by the wheels and the moment created by the center of gravity will balance each other.

h = Height of the center of mass = 78.5 cm

d = Distance from back wheel to the center of mass = $\dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}\ m$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Horizontal acceleration

The equation is of the form

$mgd=Fh\\\Rightarrow mgd=mah\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{gd}{h}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{9.81\times \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}}{78.5\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=9.12267515924\ m/s^2$

The horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle that will make the front wheel rise off the ground is 9.12267515924 m/s²
