Question

1. How fast is each cyclist going in units of meters per second*?

2. Which cyclist is going faster? How much faster is this cyclist going compared to the other one?​

Answer 1

1. a = 1m/s

b = 3m/s

2. b is faster by 2m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

v (speed) = d/t

va (speed for cyclist a) = 5/5

1m/s

vb = 9/3

3m/s

comparison = 3 - 1 = 2

difference = 2m/s

cyclist b is going faster because they cover more distance in a second
