Which has the greater deceleration a bicycle slowing from 3 meter per second to a stop in 6 seconds or a car slowing 20 meter per second to 15 meter per seconds in 6 seconds?

Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change)
Bike: (0 - 3)/6 = -1/2 meter per second2
Car: (15 - 20)/6 = -2/3 meter per second2
Both accelerations are negative. The car's is greater.
We could have seen that right away, without all the calculations, just by noticing
that the car loses more speed in the same amount of time ! That's why I couldn't
score bubkes on the GE College Bowl.

What has the greater deceleration a bicycle slowing from 3 m s to a stop in 6 second or a car slowing from 20 m s to 15m s in 6 seconds?
The car has a greater change of speed in the same period of time. So the magnitude of its acceleration is greater than the bike's is.`1111111111111111111111111111`1 decel = CHANGE in velocity divided by time in first case decel = 3/6 = .50 in second decel = 5/6 = 0.83 so second case is faster decel
