Distance / m\text{m}m
Thinking distance11
Braking distance30
Stopping distance41

The motorcycle has a constant deceleration when the brakes are applied.

What is the magnitude of the deceleration of the motorcycle during braking?

A

4.0 m s−24.0\text{ m s}^{-2}4.0 m s−2

B

5.4 m s−25.4\text{ m s}^{-2}5.4 m s−2

C

11 m s−211\text{ m s}^{-2}11 m s−2

D

15 m s−215\text{ m s}^{-2}15 m s−2
