Question

The diagram shows two different forces acting on a cyclist riding a bicycle. The total mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 120.0 kg. Based on this information, what is the acceleration of the cyclist?

Answer 1

0.55 m/s²

Explanation:

Fnet = 150 N - 84 N = 66 N

a = Fnet/m = (66 N) / (120 kg) = 0.55 m/s²
