Question

A bicyclist is traveling at a speed of 5 m/s when it suddenly accelerates, at a constant rate of 0.6 m/s^2, for a time of 10s . What is the speed of the bicycle at the end of that 10s?

Answer 1

11m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

`v = v0 + a * t`

where...

v is current velocity

v0 is starting velocity

a is constant acceleration

and t is time accelerating

plugging in given values gives us

v = 5+.6*10 = 5+6 = 11

therefore the velocity at the end of 10 seconds is 11m/s
