A cyclist is riding along at a speed of 20.7 when she decides to apply the brakes which gave a deceleration applied was a rate of -3.4 m/s2 over the span of 7.8 s. What distance does she travel over that period of time.

The distance is 58.03 m

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It occurs when the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

The conditions of the problem state the cyclist has an initial speed of v0=20.7 m/s during t=7.8 seconds and acceleration of -3.4 m/s^2.

The final speed is:

Note the cyclist has stopped and come back because his speed is negative. Now calculate the distance:

x=58.03 m

the answer is b
