Acceleration: How long will it take a cyclist
witha forward acceleration of -.50 m/s2 to bring a bicycle with
aninitial farward velocity of 13.5 m/s to a complete stop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will take 27 seconds for a cyclist to stop completely.

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the cyclist= u = 13.5 m/s

Acceleration of the driver = a  = [tex]-0.50 m/s^2[/tex]

Final velocity of the cyclist = v = 0

Duration of time in which 13.5 m/s velocity is changed to 0 = t = ?

Using first equation of motion:

v = u + at

[tex]0 =13.5 m/s+(-0.50 m/s^2)\times (t)[/tex]

[tex]-13.5 m/s=-0.50 m/s^2\times t[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{-13.5 m/s}{-0.50 m/s^2}=27 s[/tex]

It will take 27 seconds for a cyclist to stop completely.

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction. A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down.

Acceleration-

Because acceleration has both a magnitude and a direction, it is a vector quantity. Velocity is also a vector quantity.

It will take 27 seconds for a cyclist to stop completely.

 

Initial velocity of the cyclist= u = 13.5 m/s

Final velocity of the cyclist = v = 0

Duration of time in which 13.5 m/s velocity is changed to 0 = t =?

Using first equation of motion:

v = u + at  

[tex]o=13.5m/s +[/tex][tex](-0.50m/s^2)[/tex] × [tex](t)[/tex]

[tex]-13.5m/s[/tex] [tex]=-0.50m/s^2[/tex] × [tex]t[/tex]

[tex]t= -13.5m/s} \atop -0.50m/s^2 \right.[/tex][tex]= 27 s[/tex]

 

It will take 27 seconds for a cyclist to stop completely.

Thus, it will take 27 seconds for the cyclist.
