A bicyclist slow with a force of 3.5 * 10² N. if the bicyclist and bicycle have a total mass of 1.0 * 10² kg, what is the acceleration

3.5 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

The force of a bicycle as 3.5 * 10² N Mass of the bicycle as 1.0 * 10² kg

We are required to determine the acceleration of the bicycle;

From Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

Rearranging this;

a = F: m

Therefore;

Acceleration = 3.5 * 10² N : 1.0 * 10² kg

= 3.5 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the bicycle is 3.5 m/s²
