The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle was reached by John Howard of the United States. The bicycle, which was accelerated by being towed by a vehicle, reached a velocity of +245km/h. Suppose Howard wants to slow down, and applies the breaks on his now freely moving bicycle. If the average acceleration of the bicycle during braking is -3.0 m/s^, how long will it take for the bicycles velocity to decrease by 20.0 percent?

The low lands i believe

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
