. Why must the cyclist accelerate before reaching the hillock?

Physics
1 answer:
babunello [35]4 years ago
3 0

Short answer:

So that the cyclist does not slide back down

 

Long answer:

<span>The main forces a cyclist must conquer are air resistance and gravity. Air resistance increases exponentially with speed. In the switch from cycling on a flat road to hiking a hill, the decreased speed reduces air resistance to the point where drafting other riders offers small benefit. At this point, smaller cyclists, who have finer power-to-weight ratios, will be able to break away from the peloton. Climbing skill can be improved by minimizing weight, and also by pedalling at a constantly elevated rhythm. Large cyclists can attain greater downhill speeds, but on mountainous courses smaller cyclists still have a benefit. </span>

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

30 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is v_{final}=v_{initial}+at since we know that the initial velocity is 0, and the acceleration is 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \approx 10 \frac{m}{s^2} then we also know that time is 3 seconds it follows that: v_{final}=v_{initial}+at=0+10\frac{m}{s^2}*3s=30\frac{m}{s}

Calculate the displacement of an object at 2.0 seconds when thrown straight up with an
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

<h3>30m</h3>

Explanation:

Velocity is the change of rate of displacement with respect to time.

velocity = displacement/time

Given

initial velocity = 15 m/s.

time taken =2 secs

Required

Displacement of the object

From the formula;

Displacement = Velocity * time

Displacement = 15 * 2

Displacement = 30m

<em>Hence the displacement of the object is 30m</em>
