1. A bicyclist is finishing his repair of a flat tire when a friend rides by with a constant speedof 4.0 m/s. Three seconds later the bicyclist hops on his bike and begins to follow thefriend with an initial speed of 10 m/s. Assume the bicyclist continues at a constantspeed of 10 m/s until he catches the friend.a) Calculate the time it takes to catch his friend.b) How fast is he moving when he catches his friend?c) How far did he travel to catch his friend?

The friend is moving at a constant velocity of 4 m/s.So, after 3 seconds,x2 = u2 × t1x2 = 4 × 3x2 =…

Basam is standing on the edge of a cliff and tosses her physics book upward with a speed of 22.0 m/s. It hits the ground at the base of the cliff 6.0 s later. Create a VELOCITY-TIME graph that represents this scenario. You may assume that the acceleration of the textbook is -9.81 m/s². Use the graph to determine a) the height of the cliff. b) the speed of the book when it impacts the ground. DO NOT use kinematics formulas to solve this problem. This task is assessing your understanding of GRAPHING to represent accelerate motion.
