Question

What distance will a bicyclist cover in 25 seconds if he pedals with an acceleration of 2.5 meters/sec/sec?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

781.25 meters

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Time (t) = 25 sec

Acceleration (a) = 2.5 meters/sec/sec

Initial speed (u) = 0 meters/sec

Using the following formula, we calculate the distance traveled:

$\begin{gathered} d=u+\frac{1}{2}at^2 \\ \\ \text{ We replacing} \\ \\ d=0+\frac{1}{2}\cdot2.5\cdot25^2 \\ \\ d=781.25\text{ meters } \end{gathered}$

The distance traveled is equal to 781.25 meters
