Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A motorbike moving at brakes steadily and stops in .
For a steady acceleration:
Pick the equation that leaves out what you neither know nor want.
To change km/h to m/s, divide by .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Given. , , .
Step 1. Acceleration. .
Step 2. Distance. .
Answer: (a) , a deceleration of . (b) .
Check. .
Watch out. Working in km/h and seconds together gives nonsense: is not an acceleration in any sensible unit.
