Acyclist rides 8.0 km east for 20 minutes, then he turns and heads west for 8 minutes and 3.2 km. finally he rides east for 16 km, which takes 40 minutes. (a) what is the final displacement of the cyclist? (b) what is his average velocity?

1) The final displacement of cyclist is 20.8 km.

2) The average velocity of cyclist is 18.35 m/h

Explanation:

The path traced by the cyclist is as shown in the attached figure

from the attached figure we can see

1) Initial distance covered = 8.0 km east therefore OA = 8.0  km

2) When the cyclist turns and travels 3.2 km west thus AB = 3.2 km

3) From B the cyclist turns and travels 16 km east thus BC = 16.0 km

As we can see that the total displacement is OC = OA- AB + BC = 8.0-3.2+16 = 20.8 km

Thus the final displacement is 20.8 km.

Part b)

By definition of average velocity we have

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
