Question

1.) Consider two bicycles, notably A and B, which start from the same point and travel along the same straight line. Bicycle A travels for a time of 30.0 minutes (note: 60 seconds per minute) at a speed of 11.0 m/s. Bicycle B travels for a time of 30.0 minutes at a speed of 14.0 m/s. Determine the distance separating the two bicycles at the end of the 30.0 minute time period.

   a.) 2500 m

   b.) 3600 m

   c.) 4800 m

   d.) 5400 m               

                                                                                                                                    Answer __________

2.) Consider two bicycles, notably C and D, which start from the same point and travel along the same straight line. Bicycle C travels for the distance with a speed 5.00 m/s in a time of 30.0 seconds. Bicycle D travels the same distance in a time of 36.0 seconds. Determine the speed of Bicycle D.

   a.) 3.18 m/s

   b.) 2.74 m/s

   c.) 4.17 m/s

   d.) 5.96 m/s

Explanation / Answer

1)

v1 = 11.0 m/s

t1 = 30.0 min = 30.0*60 s = 1800 s

use:

d1 = v1*t1

= 11.0 m/s * 1800 s

= 19800 m

v2 = 14.0 m/s

t2 = 30.0 min = 30.0*60 s = 1800 s

use:

d2 = v2*t2

= 14.0 m/s * 1800 s

= 25200 m

distance between them = d2-d1

= 25200 m - 19800 m

= 5400 m

Answer: d

2)

v1 = 5.00 m/s

t1 = 30.0 s

use:

d1 = v1*t1

= 5.00 m/s * 30.0 s

= 150 m

same distance is travelled by D

so,

d2 = 150 m

t2 = 36.0 s

use:

v2 = d2/t2

= 150 m / 36.0 s

= 4.17 m/s

Answer: 4.17 m/s
