A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 5.9 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 242 m from point A.
What will be his position from point A after that time?
Answer in units of m
His speed is 5.9m/s
Every second he gets 5.9m farther away.
We start measuring time when he's 242m away.
So, after t seconds, he's 242 + 5.9t meters away from A.
To find the cyclist's position from point A after a given time, you can use the formula for displacement:
Displacement = Initial position + Velocity × Time
In this case, the initial position from point A is 242 m, and the cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 5.9 m/s away from point A. Let's call the time t. Plugging in the values, we can calculate the displacement:
Displacement = 242 m + 5.9 m/s × t
Since the time t is not provided in the question, we can't calculate the exact position from point A. However, if you provide a value for t, we can calculate the answer using the formula above.
