Best Answer

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

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


The term deceleration means?

Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.


An object slowing down has a what acceleration?
