Inertia is the force in play here
Answer:
Average Velocity = 3.65 m/s
Explanation:
Average Velocity

Explanation:
It is given that, two teams are playing tug of war.
Force applied by Team A, 
Force applied by Team B, 
We need to find the net force acting on the rope. It is equal to :



So, the net force acting on the rope is 35 N and it is acting toward right. Hence, this is the required solution.
Let the time be t.
so,In time t , distance travelled by 1st cyclist = 12.6 t
distance travelled by 2nd cyclist = 9.2t + 0.5 (1.5) t^2
Now, cyclist 1st is already 11.4 m ahead of 2nd cyclist.
so, 9.2t + 0.5 (1.5) t^2 = 11.4 + 12.6t
find t :
t = 6.77 sec
