A cyclist slows down from 25 m/s to 5 m/s while traveling 120 m. What is the acceleration?
To find the acceleration of the cyclist, we can use the kinematic equation:
Where:
is the final velocity (5 m/s)
is the initial velocity (25 m/s)
is the acceleration (unknown)
is the displacement (120 m)
Rearranging the formula to solve for :
