A cyclist rides due east for 48.5 percent of the time and due west for the rest of the time. The average eastward velocity has magnitude 16. miles/hour while the average westward velocity has a magnitude of 12.5 miles per hour. (A) Find the average velocity (magnitude and direction) and (B) the average speed for the entire race. (C) Find the total displacement and (D) the total distance covered, if he rode for two hours and a quarter.

    A bicyclist rides 1.68 km due east, while the resistive force from the air has a magnitude of 5.57 N and points due west. The rider then turns around and rides 1.68 km due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 5.57 N and points due east. Find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip.

    At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 10.0m/s. Then 30.0s later, the cyclist is 40.0m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 10.0 m/s. For the cyclist in the 30.0s interval, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the displacement, the (c) magnitude and(d) direction of the average velocity and the (e) magnitude and (f) direction of the average acceleration?
