we know that

The scalar magnitude of the velocity vector is the speed. The speed is equal to

Speed=\frac{distance}{time}

in this problem we have

distance=400\ m \\time=120\ sec

substitute in the formula

Speed=\frac{400}{120}

Speed=3.5\frac{m}{sec}

therefore

<u>the answer Part a) is</u>

the speed is equal to 3.5\frac{m}{sec}

<u>Part b) </u>Find the velocity

we know that

<u>Velocity </u>is a vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it

in this problem we have

the magnitude is equal to the speed

magnitude=3.5\frac{m}{sec}

direction=North\ East\ (NE)

therefore

<u>the answer Part b) is</u>

the velocity is 3.5\frac{m}{sec}\ North\ East\ (NE)

Part c)

we know that

the acceleration is equal to the formula

a=\frac{V2-V1}{t2-t1}

in this problem we have

V2=0 \\V1=3.5\frac{m}{sec}

t2=15\ sec\\t1=0

substitute in the formula

a=\frac{0-3.5}{15-0}

a=-\frac{3.5}{15}\frac{m}{sec^{2}}

a=-\frac{7}{30}\frac{m}{sec^{2}}

therefore

<u>the answer Part c) is</u>

the acceleration is -\frac{7}{30}\frac{m}{sec^{2}}

This is an example of negative acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

1. It is given that,

Distance covered by the cyclist, d = 400 m

Time taken, t = 120 s

Speed = distance / time taken

v=\dfrac{400\ m}{120\ s}

v = 3.33 m/s

So, the speed of the cyclist is 3.33 m/s.

2. The cyclist comes to a stop position within 15 seconds. Its acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{0-3.33\ m/s}{15\ s}  

a=-0.22\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the cyclist is -0.22\ m/s^2. It is an example of negative acceleration as the cyclist is decelerating. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

3% of 2000 = 60

3000-200 = 1000

1000 ÷ 60= 16.6666666667

Round to the nearest whole number: 17
