Answer:

Force, F = 135 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bicyclist, m = 90 kg

Centripetal acceleration of the bicyclist, $a=1.5\ m/s^2$

To find,

The centripetal force acting on the bicyclist.

Solution,

When an object moves in a circular track, it will under the action of centripetal acceleration and the exerted force is called centripetal force. It can be calculated as :

$F=ma$

$F=90\ kg\times 1.5\ m/s^2$

F = 135 N

So, the centripetal force acting on the bicyclist is 135 N.

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit

Alexxandr [17]

By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,
