Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.
the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have
11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 = 3.16 m /s^-2
The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.
Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².
So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
