Asked by Monica

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of
5.2 m/s headed away from point A. At some
initial time, the cyclist is 251 m from point A.
What will be his displacement from his
starting position after 85 s?
Answer in units of m


What will be his position from point A after
that time?
Answered by Marisa
1st Part

We're looking for displacement which means V=displacement/time

So it would look like this

5.2 m/s = displacement(unknown)/85 s

Multiply both sides by 85 s to get rid of denominator so you end up with this

85 s x 5.2 m/s =442 m

2nd Part

Finding position

take the displacement and add it to the initial position

Like this

442 m + 251m = 693m
