if a bicyclist starts from a resting position and reaches a speed of 10 meters per second in 40 seconds, what was his acceleration during this time? assume he accelerated in a constant way.

Acceleration (magnitude)  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                                           = (10 m/s - 0 m/s)  /  (40 sec)

                                           =   (10/40)  m/s²

                                            =   0.25 m/s²
