A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of
7 m/s headed away from point A. At some
initial time, the cyclist is 259 m from point A.
What will be his displacement from his
starting position after 82 s?

To calculate the displacement of the cyclist after 82 seconds, we need to consider that the cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 7 m/s away from point A.
Displacement is the change in position or the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions. We can calculate it using the formula:
Displacement = Velocity x Time
Given that the velocity of the cyclist is 7 m/s and the time is 82 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Displacement = 7 m/s x 82 s
Now, we can multiply the velocity by the time:
Displacement = 574 m
Therefore, the cyclist's displacement from the starting position after 82 seconds is 574 meters.
