Biker A is cruising at a speed of 10.0 m/s when she passes biker B who is at rest at the origin of the coordinate system. Biker
B immediately accelerates when he is passed, catching up with biker A after 1.00 minute.
(a) Draw graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration of both bikers as a function of time.
(b) What is the acceleration of biker B, assuming that it is constant?
(c) At what distance from the origin do the two bikers meet?
(d) What is the average speed of biker B during the first 30.0 seconds?

b. 460.8 m/s
Explanation:
The relationship between the speed of the wave along the string, the length of the string and the frequency of the note is
where v is the speed of the wave, L is the length of the string and f is the frequency. Re-arranging the equation and substituting the data of the problem (L=0.90 m and f=256 Hz), we can find v:
c. 18,000 m
Explanation:
The relationship between speed of the wave, distance travelled and time taken is
where
v = 6,000 m/s is the speed of the wave
d = ? is the distance travelled
t = 3 s is the time taken
Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers into it, we find:
