Compare the acceleration of a motorcycle that accelerates from 80 kmh to 90 kmh with the acceleration of a bicycle that accelerates from rest to 10 kmh in the same time?

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time it takes to make that change;
a= delta v/delta t
As you can see, the change in velocity for both vehicles is the same (10km/h), and the question states that they do it in the same amount of time. So the acceleration is the same;
delta v1/delta t1 = delta v2/delta t2 = a.
The fact that the motorcycle is already at a much higher speed is irrelevant.

If you want to increase the acceleration of a bicycle what must you increase?
you must increase the applied force
When you press your bicycle's brakeswhat happens to your speedvelocityand acceleration?
your seed,velocity,and acceleration will be slow When you brake, your acceleration increases (!), your velocity decreases (and in this case, there is no difference between velocity and speed). Negative acceleration increases when braking a moving bike.
How does Newton's second law explain why it is easier to push a bicycle than to push a car with the same acceleration?
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.Since a bicycle has much less mass than a car so it's easier to push it.
A dump truck a sports car and a bicycle are traveling at the same velocity's compare their kinetic energies?
the dump truck has the lowest kinetic the bike has the greatest becase of their mass
How does Newtons 2 law explain why it is easier push a bicycle than to push a car with the same acceleration?
Essentially you're looking at F = ma acceleration, a = the same for both vehicles. The mass, m of a bike is much less than that of a car therefore; The required force to push a bike is much less than that required for a car. Therefore it's easier to push a bike.
What is the difference between bicycle and motorcycle?
A motorcycle has a motor and no pedals
Explain why a bicycle accelerates as it coasts downhill?
Because the pull of gravity.
Motorcycle versus bicycle deaths?
While you may have understood what you meant, the rest of us can't. What about motorcycle vs bicycle deaths?
A vehicle with two wheels?
A bicycle or a motorcycle.
What are the differences between a motorcycle and a bicycle?
A motorcycle (motorbike) is driven by a petrol engine. A bicycle is driven entirely by the effort from the rider (unless it is battery driven).
What is a backie?
A backie is a ride on the back of a bicycle or motorcycle.
What are some metaphors about biking?
bicycle is to motorcycle.
What is the technical difference between bicycle and motorcycle?
A bicycle is powered by human exertion and a motorbike by mechanical power.
What rhymes with ventricle?
Motorcycle, cycle, bicycle. There aren't that many.
What does Velodromes mean?
It's a track for bicycle or motorcycle racing.
What is an apehanger?
An apehanger is a tall handlebar, particularly on a motorcycle or bicycle.
What does bike mean?
Bike is short for bicycle, and can either refer to a motorcycle, or a human-powered, pedal-driven bicycle.
