A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of
4.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some
initial time, the cyclist is 244 m from point A.
What will be his displacement from his
starting position after 60 s?
what is 244+4.1*60
To find the cyclist's displacement from his starting position after 60 seconds, we can use the formula:
Displacement = Initial position + (Velocity × Time)
Given:
Initial position from point A = 244 m
Velocity = 4.1 m/s
Time = 60 s
Substituting the values into the formula:
Displacement = 244 m + (4.1 m/s × 60 s)
Now, let's calculate it:
Displacement = 244 m + (246 m)
Displacement = 490 m
Therefore, after 60 seconds, the cyclist will be 490 meters away from his starting position.
