A cyclist starts from rest and his distance from the starting point was noted every 5s. The observations are given below.
Time t (s): 0 5 10 15 20
Distance s (m):\; 0 15 30 45 60
(i) Calculate the displacement covered in each successive 5s interval.
(ii) From your calculations decide whether the cyclist’s motion is uniform or non-uniform. Give a reason for your answer.
(iii) If the same pattern of motion continues for another 20s, predict the distance of the cyclist from the start at t=40s.
