A cycle track is 500 metres long. A cyclist completes 10 laps (that is, he rides completely round the track 10 times).
a) How many kilometres has the cyclist travelled?
b) On average it took the cyclist 50 second to complete one lap (that it, to ride round just one).
(i) What was the average speed of the cyclist?
(ii) How long in minutes and seconds dit it take the cyclist to complete the 10 laps?
c) Near the end of the run the cyclist put on a spurt. During this spurt it took the cyclist 2 seconds to increase speed from 8 m/s to 12 m/s. What was the cyclist's acceleration during this spurt?

Explanation:

a) D_t = 500m*10laps

D_t = 5000m or 5km

b)

I) v = d/t

v = 500m/50s

v = 10m/s

ii) 10m/s = 5000m/t

t = 5000m/10m/s

t = (500s)*(1min/60s)

t = 8'20" or 8 mins and 20 sec

c) v_f = v_0 + a*t

v_f-v_0 = a*t

a = (v_f-v_0)/t

a = (12m/s-8m/s)/2s

a = (4m/s)/2s

a = 2m/s²
