Question

Mrs. Paul and Dr. Mykannen ride a tandem bike on the beach. They ride along the beach for about 455 meters. Their final velocity is 5.50 m/s. How long did they ride for?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time = 80.91 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 5.50 m/s.

Distance = 445 meters

To find the time;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5.5 = 445/time

Time = 445/5.5

Time = 80.91 seconds
