A bicycle accelerates 0.0 m/s to 15.0 m/s in 5.0 s. How far does it travel?

37.5 m

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s Final velocity, V = 5 m/s Time taken, t = 5.0 s

We are required to calculate the distance traveled by the bicycle

We are going to use the equation of linear motion. The appropriate equation is; S = 0.5 (u + v) t, where is the displacement or distance traveled.

Therefore;

Distance, S = 0.5 (0 + 15) * 5.0 s

= 37.5 m

Therefore, the bicycle traveled a distance of 37.5 m
