Forces Flashcards
Determine the distance travelled by the cyclist between Y and Z.
.
The speed of the cyclist and trailer increased uniformly from 0 m/s to 2.4 m/s.
The cyclist travelled 0.018 km while accelerating.
Calculate the initial acceleration of the cyclist
Immediately after the collision the two players move together to the right.
Calculate the velocity of the two players immediately after the collision 4

There are places on the journey where the train accelerates without changing speed.
Explain how this can happen.
The data in the table above refers to a car in good mechanical condition driven by an alert
driver.
Explain why the stopping distance of the car increases if the driver is very tired.

A student looks at the data in the table above and writes the following:
thinking distance ∝ speed
braking distance ∝ speed
Explain whether the student is correct.
