Question

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 4.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 249 m from point A. What will be his displacement from his starting position after 40 s?

Answer 1

413 m

Step-by-step explanation:

D = total displacement

D = d' + d

d' = 249 m (initial displacement from point A)

d = ? (displacement from t = 0)

v = d/t => d = v*t

D = d' + (v*t) = 249 m + (4.1 m/s * 40 s)

D = 249 m + 164 m

D = 413 m
