How far and how fast did Tanya travel while cycling?

AI Thread Summary
Tanya was cycling at an initial speed of 5.6 m/s and began to accelerate at 0.60 m/s² for 4.0 seconds. To calculate the distance traveled during this time, the equation used is d = v_i * t + 0.5 * a * t², which results in a distance of 12.8 meters. For the final velocity, the equation v_f = v_i + a * t gives a final speed of 8.0 m/s. Participants in the discussion encouraged showing work and using appropriate equations to clarify the problem-solving process. The focus was on applying kinematic equations to find both distance and final velocity accurately.

Tanya was cycling at 5.6 m/s when she starts to accelerate at 0.60m/s2 for a time interval of 4.0 s.

a) How far did she travel during this time interval? ☺☺

b) What velocity did she attain? ☺☺


Can anyone give me hint for this?...

I have tried but all I can think of is velocity times acceleration for veloctiy (final) for b)

and for a) I don't know how to make an equation.

Thank you

show me all the equations. And show me your attempts at the problems from those equations. You know you have a few equations you can choose from to answer the question right? Try to read the problem carefully and choose the equation that can get you what they are asking for. Show you work on here so we can help you if you are still having a hard time with the problem.

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
