The discussion revolves around a racing scenario involving two bicycles over a distance of 200 meters, focusing on the initial velocities and accelerations of each bicycle. The participants are attempting to determine the time taken for each bicycle to complete the race and identify the winner.
The discussion is ongoing, with some participants suggesting looking up kinematic equations and others providing specific equations. There is no explicit consensus on the approach yet, but guidance has been offered regarding the relevant equations to consider.
Participants have noted the need for relevant equations and have expressed uncertainty about which formulas to apply in this context. The problem setup includes specific initial velocities and accelerations for both bicycles, which are central to the discussion.

the case is if two bicycle want to make race for 200 m ,
Bicycle A
Vo1 ( Initial Velocity ) = 50m/s
a ( acceleration ) = 2 m/s2
Bicycle B
Vo1 ( Initial Velocity ) = 0 m/s
a ( acceleration ) = 10 m/s2
how I find the time and who will win the race ,
Please some body tech me :(
rl.bhat said:What is the kinematic equation which relates the disparagement, initial velocity, acceleration and time. Find t1 and t2 and then decide who wins the race?
Correct. Now s is same for both. Find t1 and t2.caitlincui said:s=v0t+1/2*a*t^2
