Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cyclist accelerates at 2 m/s² starting from a speed of 5 m/s. What is the cyclist's speed after 10 seconds?
💡 Hint: Make sure to apply each component of acceleration over the given time.
If an object moves with a constant speed of 50 m/s around a circular track of radius 100 m, calculate the centripetal acceleration.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between speed and circular motion to find the solution.
