Answer
The final velocity can be calculated using the following equation of motion:v = u + atWhere:* v = final velocity* u = initial velocity* a = acceleration* t = timeIn this case:* u = +8 m/s* a = +2 m/s²* t = 5 sSubstituting these values into the equation:v = 8 m/s + (2 m/s²)(5 s)v = 8 m/s + 10 m/sv = 18 m/sSo the cyclist's final velocity is
