Find the acceleration required to reach the speed of 10 mph from the rest position within the time period of 25 seconds. Calculate the total distance traveled by bicyclist and also calculate the average speed of cyclist during the first 25 s, 620 s, and 625 s.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the acceleration required to reach the speed of 10 mph from the rest position within 25 s.
During the initial 25 seconds, the speed increases from 0 to 10 mph. Therefore, the average speed is
Calculate the distance traveled by the bicyclist with the average speed of 5 miles/h during the initial 25 s as follows.
Consider the constant average speed of 10 miles/h in the next 10 minutes.
Calculate the distance traveled by the bicyclist with the average speed of 10 miles/h during the next 10 minutes.
Here, the bicyclist decelerates at the constant rate from a speed of 10 mph to 0, the average speed of the bicyclist during the last 5 seconds is 5 mph.
Calculate the distance traveled during this period as below.
The total distance traveled is
Substitute 1833.33 ft for
Use the expression for the average speed of the bicyclist for the entire duration of travel.
Substitute 9020 feet for distance traveled and 625 s for time.
Conclusion:
Thus, the acceleration required to reach the speed of 10 mph in 25 s is

- The displacement of a particle that moves along the x-axis is given by x = (-4 + 3t^2)e^-0.25t, consider x to be in feet and t in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity, and acceleration for the first 20 seconds of motion and determine, both graphically and by your established equation for acceleration, the time at which acceleration is 0. (If the students find it more comfortable, they may choose to graph using excel or any graphing software, solutions, however, must be done manually). Show COMPLETE STEP BY STEP SOLUTION and necessary FIGURES.arrow_forwardA car starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 90 km/h in 20 seconds. The acceleration during this period is constant. For the next 20 minutes the car moves with the constant speed of 90 km/h. At this time the driver of the car applies the brake and thecar decelerates to a full stop in 10 seconds. The variation of the speed of the car with time is shown in the accompanying diagram. Determine the total distance traveled by the car and the average speed of the car over this distance.arrow_forwardA plugged dishwasher sink with the dimensions of 60 cm × 50 cm × 30 cm is being filled with water from a faucet with an inner diameter of 2.5 cm.
