- The radii of the pedal sprocket, the wheel sprocket, and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are 4 inches, and 14 inches, respectively. A cyclist pedals at a rate of 1 revolution per second.Β (a) find the speed of the bicycle in feet per second and miles per hour (b) Use your result from part (a) to write a function for the distance d (in miles) a cyclist travels in terms of the number n of revolutions of the pedal sprocket (c) write a function for the distance d (in miles) a cyclist travels in terms of the time t (in seconds)arrow_forwardplease help with math calculus application of derivatives functionarrow_forwardDistance between cars At noon, car A is 10 feet to the right and 20 feet ahead of car B, as shown in the figure. If car A continues at 88 ft/sec (or 60 mi/hr) while car B continues at 66 f/sec (or 45 mi/hr), express the distance d between the cars as a function of t, where t denotes the number of sec- onds after noon.
