Question

6. A cyclist travels at a constant velocity of 2.3 m/s westward and continues at this

velocity for 60 seconds. Then, the cyclist speeds up to a velocity of 4.5 m/s and stays at
this velocity for another 60 seconds. Calculate the cyclist's acceleration.

Answer 1

0.02 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/change in time

change in velocity= 4.5m/s - 2.3m/s = 2.2 m/s

acceleration= 2.2/120= 0.0183

= 0.02 (to 2 significant figures)
