Acyclist pedals his bike and reaches the top of a hill. then he begins to coast downhill without pedaling. when he reaches the bottom of the hill, he again applies force to the pedals. why does the cyclist accelerate as he coasts downhill? a. the force of friction propels the cyclist and the bicycle down the hill. b. the mass of the cyclist opposes the mass of the bicycle, causing it to accelerate downhill. c. the unbalanced force of gravity acts on the mass of his body and the bicycle. d. the force of the cyclist and the force of the bicycle added together increase the downhill acceleration.

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. first, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. by monitoring the capacitor voltage on an oscilloscope, you see that the voltage decays to half its initial value in 2.70 miss . you then use the resistor and capacitor to make a low-pass filter. what is the crossover frequency fc?

The experiment done in lab is repeated, using a ball that has unknown mass m. you plot your data in the form of f 2 versus m/l, with f in rev/s, m in kg, and l in m. your data falls close to a straight line that has slope 3.19 m/(kg · s2). use g = 9.80 m/s2 and calculate the mass m of the ball.

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?
