Physics (AS & A Level) · Oct / Nov 2016 · Paper 13 · Question 6

A cyclist pedals along a raised horizontal track. At the end of the track, he travels horizontally into the air and onto a track that is vertically 2.0 m lower. The cyclist travels a horizontal distance of 6.0 m in the air. Air resistance is negligible. What is the horizontal velocity v of the cyclist at the end of the higher track?

1. A6.3 m s–1
2. B9.4 m s–1
3. C9.9 m s–1
4. D15 m s–1
