Explanation:
We start by using the conservation law of energy:
or
Simplifying the above equation, we get
We can rewrite this as
Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity so we can write
where is the launch velocity.
The change in velocity is 10 mi/h (4.47 m/s)
Explanation:
The change in velocity of the motorcyclist is given by
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
In this problem, we have
u = 0 (the motorbike starts from rest)
v = 10 mi/h
Therefore, the change in velocity is
And keeping in mind that
1 mile = 1609 m
1 h = 3600 s
We can convert it into m/s:
