you are riding your bike at 9km/h. ten minutes later; your speed is 6km/hr.

What is your question?

How do you figure out if acceleration occurred. What would the equations look like?

You are riding your bike at 9km/h. Ten minutes later, your speed is 6km/h.

8.7km/h

To understand the situation, let's break it down step by step:

1. Initially, you are riding your bike at a speed of 9 km/h.
2. Ten minutes later, your speed reduces to 6 km/h.

Now, to find out the distance traveled during the 10 minutes, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Let's calculate the distance for each part separately:

1. Distance covered at a speed of 9 km/h during the first 10 minutes:
Distance_1 = (Speed_1 × Time) = (9 km/h × 10/60 h) = (9/6) km = 1.5 km

2. Distance covered at a speed of 6 km/h during the remaining time (50 minutes):
Distance_2 = (Speed_2 × Time) = (6 km/h × 50/60 h) = (30/10) km = 3 km

Adding both distances together:
Total Distance = Distance_1 + Distance_2 = 1.5 km + 3 km = 4.5 km

Therefore, you have traveled a total distance of 4.5 kilometers.
