The average speed of the 5 bicyclist is 5.88 m/s and the heir rms speed is 8.32 m/s.

What is the average speed of the bicyclists?

The average speed of the bicyclist is the ratio of the total distance traveled by the bicyclist to the total time of motion of the bicyclist.

average speed of the 5 bicyclist = (5.4 m/s + 5.7 m/s + 5.8 m/s + 6.0 m/s + 6.5 m/s) / 5

average speed of the 5 bicyclist = 5.88 m/s

Root mean square of the bicyclists

Vrms = Vo√2

where;

  • Vo is the peak speed

Vrms = 5.88 m/s x √2

Vrms = 8.32 m/s

Thus, the average speed of the 5 bicyclist is 5.88 m/s and the heir rms speed is 8.32 m/s.
