    A cyclist and bike with a total mass of 45kg had an initial velocity of 15ms-1 and sped up to 20ms-1. The cyclist attempted to brake 18m from a wall but failed to stop in time. To calculate the momentum, deceleration needed to avoid collision, time before hitting the wall, initial kinetic energy, and force of impact, the given mass and velocity values can be plugged into the relevant physics equations for these quantities.

    1.

    The cyclist and her bicycle have a mass of 45kg has an initial velocity of 15ms-1
    attain a speed of 20ms-1. She brakes so that she doesn’t collide with the wall 18m ahead
    but her brake failed her.

    Calculate for the cyclist and her bike:

    HINT: Use the expressions in red ink as a guide.
