A cyclist of mass 60kg rides a bicycle of mass 20kg. When starting off, the cyclist provides a force of 200N. What is his acceleration?

F = ma

a = f / m
= 200/60 + 20
= 2.5 m/s

F = ma

plug in your numbers

How to calculate speed

OHHHH WHERE is this question from. like is it from past papers

a pellet of mass 0.001 kg is fired at a block of wood at a speed of 110 m/s it embeds it self to a depth of 0.05m what is the impact of its force

To find the acceleration of the cyclist, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

In this case, the total mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is the sum of their individual masses: Mass_total = Mass_cyclist + Mass_bicycle = 60 kg + 20 kg = 80 kg.

The force applied by the cyclist is given as 200 N.

Using Newton's second law, we can rewrite the formula as a = F / m, where "a" is the acceleration, "F" is the force, and "m" is the mass.

Plugging in the values, we get:

a = 200 N / 80 kg = 2.5 m/s^2.

So, the cyclist's acceleration when starting off is 2.5 m/s^2.

f=ma

a=m/f
a=60*20/200
a=6
