a girl is riding her bicycle. when she get to a corner, she stopsto get a drink from her water bottle. at that time, a friend passesby her, traveling at a constant speed of 1.8m/s.(take the directionthe riders are going to be the positive direction. indicate thedirection with the sign of your answer.)
a). after 13s, the girl gets back on her bike and travels with aconstant acceleration of 2.4m/s^2. how long does it take for her tocatch up with her friend?
b). if the girl had been on her bike and rolling along at a speedof 1.3m/s when her friend passed, what constant acceleration wouldshe need to catch up with her friend in the same amount of time?

Suppose that when you ride on your 7.70-kg bike the weight of youand the bike is supported equally by the two tires. If the gaugepressure in the tires is 74.5 lb/in2 and the area of contactbetween each tire and the road is 7.13 cm2, what is your weight inNewtons?

The answer that I keep getting is 801N but it seems to beincorrect.

1) Suppose you are riding a stationary exercise bicycle,andthe electronic meter indicates that the wheel is rotating at9.62rad/s. The wheel has a radius of 0.440 m. If you ride the bikefor44.7 min, how far would you have gone if the bike couldmove?
2) A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 2.34x107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.78x1011 m. With respect to the star,determine(a) the angular speed of theplanet,(b) the tangential speed of the planet,and(c) the magnitude and direction of theplanet'scentripetal acceleration.
3) A person is riding a bicycle, and its wheels have anangularvelocity of 15.8 rad/s. Then, the brakes are applied andthe bike isbrought to a uniform stop. During braking, the angulardisplacementof each wheel is 14.2 revolutions.(a) How muchtime does it take for the bike tocome to rest? (b)What is the anguar acceleration(in rad/s2) of eachwheel?
