Answer:

0.0675 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply newton's second law of motion

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = force exert by the brake, v = final speed, u = initial speed m = mass of the bicycle, t = time.

make t the subject of the equation

t = m(v-u)/F................... Equation 2

Given: m = 180 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop), F = -1600 N ( agianst the dirction of motion)

Substitute these value into equation 2

t = 180(0-6.0)/-1600

t = -1080/-1600

t = 0.0675 seconds.

# A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah

yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

$72 \: km \: per \: hour$

$= 72 \times \frac{1000}{60 \times 60}$

$= 20$ m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

$a = \frac{20 - 0}{2}$

$a = \frac{20}{2}$

$a = 10$ m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0

Vlada [557]

Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2

34. A train, starting from rest, accelerates along the platform at a uniform rate of 0.6 m/s2. A passenger standing on the platf

ira [324]

Answer:

4.08 s

Explanation:

Let the passenger took "t" time to catch the train

so in this case the total distance moved by the train + 5 m = total distance moved by the passenger

so we will have

distance moved by train is given as

$d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6) t^2$

also the distance moved by passenger

$d_2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.2) t^2$

so we will have

$d_1 + 5 = d_2$

$0.3 t^2 + 5 = 0.6 t^2$

$0.3 t^2 = 5$

t = 4.08 s
