A cyclist accelerates from rest to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. How far did the cycles travel in 3 seconds?

Given:

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s (Accelerates from rest)

Final speed (v) = 8 m/s

Time taken (t) = 3 seconds

To Find:

Distance travelled by cyclist (s)

Explanation:

From equation of motion of object moving with uniform acceleration in straight line we have:

By substituting value of v, u & t in the equation we get:

Distance travelled by cyclist (s) = 12 m

s(distance) =36m

Explanation:

u(initial velocity) =0 m/s

a =8 m/s^2

t=3s

s=ut+1/2at^2

s=1/2(8)(3)^2

s=1/2(8)(3)(3)

s=4(9)

s=36m

explanation:

areas w steep slopes, west coast, rocky mountains, and appalachian mountains
