Question

An adult on a bicycle approaches a stop sign and applies the brakes to slow to a stop. If the bicycle and adult were originally traveling at 8.59 m/s and the brakes cause a deceleration of magnitude 2.79 m/s2, what distance is required for the person to stop the bicycle?

Step 1

We can use the formula for time which is final velocity minus initial velocity divided by acceleration. In this case, the final velocity is 0 (because the bicycle stops), the initial velocity is 8.59 m/s, and the acceleration (actually deceleration, but we'll use Show more…
