The highest speed attained by a cyclist on level ground is 105 km/h. To attain this speed, the cyclist used a streamlined recumb

ent bike. Starting from rest, he gradually built up his speed by pedaling furiously over a distance of 3.2 km. If his acceleration was uniform over this distance, what was the acceleration and how long did the cyclist take to build up his final speed

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build the final speed is 219.32 s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the cyclist, v = 105 km/h = 29.17 m/s²

distance traveled by the cyclist, d = 3.2 km = 3,200 m

initial speed, u = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the acceleration of the cyclist;

v² = u² + 2as

(29.17 )² = 0 + (2 x 3200)a

850.89 = 6400a

a = (850.89 ) / (6400)

a = 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build up the final speed is given by;

v = u + at

29.17 = 0 + (0.133)t

t = 29.17 / 0.133

t = 219.32 s

Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants
