Question

A motorcycle racer falls off their motorbike while traveling at 102 km/hr and skids in a straight line down the track. If the friction with the track decelerates the rider at a uniform rate of 4.6 m/s/s, how far (what displacement) would the rider travel before coming to a stop?

102 km/hr = 28.33 m/s
Now, as usual,
v = 28.33 - 4.6t
find t when v=0, and then
s = 28.33t - 2.3t^2

I'm still lost on what the answer is?
how did you get 28.33 m/s?

102 km/hr = 28.33 m/s from
102km/hr*1000m/km*1hr/3600sec= 28.33 m/s
If you are serious with this question, you need some tutoring on unit conversion very quickly.
