A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 4.8 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 255 m from point A.
What will be his displacement from his starting position after 88 s?
Answer in units of m
255m+(4.8m/s)*(88s)= displacement in meters.
To calculate the displacement of the cyclist after 88 seconds, we can use the formula:
Displacement = Initial position + (Velocity * Time)
First, we need to determine the initial position. Given that the cyclist is 255 m from point A, we take this as the initial position.
So, Initial position = 255 m
Next, we need to determine the velocity of the cyclist. It is given in the problem that the cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 4.8 m/s.
So, Velocity = 4.8 m/s
Lastly, we have the time, which is given in the problem as 88 seconds.
So, Time = 88 s
Now, let's substitute these values into the formula to calculate the displacement:
Displacement = 255 m + (4.8 m/s * 88 s)
Calculating this expression will give us the final answer for the displacement of the cyclist after 88 seconds.
