Question
Chapter 2.4, Problem 31PP
To determine
Description of the motion of the bicycle.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The slope of the position-time graph describes the speed or velocity of the bicycle.
The slope of the bicycle is constant and increasing, so the speed or velocity of the bicycle is uniform. The bicycle moves with the constant velocity and the motion of the bicycle is uniform motion.
Conclusion:
The bicycle moves with the uniform motion in the entire motion.
