Question

A cyclist starts from rest and travels a long straight path with uniform acceleration. After traveling from 20 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist is 3.5 m/s. Find the acceleration of the cyclist.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.18m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

Time (t) = 20secs

velocity (v) = 3.5m/s

Solution:

The acceleration of the cyclist

a = v – u / t

where;

v = 3.5m/s.

t = 20secs.

substitute the values into the equation.

a = v – u / t

a = ( 3.5m/s – 0m/s ) / 20secs

a = 3.5m/s / 20secs

a = 0.18m/s^2
