Hi to anyone reading this. Please help me with the questions below. I'm finding physics quite difficult and I have an exam in a week!
A cyclist(A) traveling at a speed of 8.0 ms-1 passes another cyclist (B) who is at rest. It takes B 3.0 seconds to get started just as A passes her and then she can accelerate at 1.0 m s-2 for 10 s. After this time, she travels with a constant velocity. Calculate
i.The cyclist B’s final speed.
1.0 ms-2 x 10 s = 10 ms-1
ii.The distance between the cyclists when B starts.
8.0 ms-1 x 3 s = 24 m
iii.How long does it take for B to catch up with A.
iv.How far have they traveled when B catches up with A.
