Multiply it out, one at a time.

The first cyclist at 7 MPH... well, 120 minutes is 2 hours (120 minutes divided by 60 minutes in an hour)... so after 2 hours they would have gone 14 miles.

The other is going 8 MPH for 120 minutes, so using the same math they would have gone 16 miles.

Take 14 miles plus 16 miles = 30 miles.

So your answer is 30 miles.

Two cyclists start biking from a trail's start 3 hours apart The second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is traveling at 6 miles per hour How much?

Two cyclists start biking from a trail's start 3 hours apart. The second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is traveling at 6 miles per hour. How much time will pass before the second cyclist catches up with the first from the time the second cyclist started biking? A. 2 hoursB. 4 ½ hoursC. 5 ¾ hoursD. 6 hoursE. 7 ½ hours AnswerThe distance the 1st cyclist travels is 6(3+t) miles, andthe distance the 2nd cyclist travles is 10t miles...where t=the number of hours since cyclist #2 starts.Now solve: 6(3+t)=10t ==> 18+6t=10t ==> 18=4t ==> t=4.5 hrs==> 4.5 hours = 4 hrs 30 minutes

Using force diagrams the ways in which air resistance can play an important part in reducing the cyclists speed?

draw a bicycle with an arrow pointing forward (this is the force applied by the cyclist) draw an arrow in the opposite direction this is air resistance the overall force will be equal to the forward force minus the backward (air resistance force) from this it is clear to see that it limits the cyclists speed it may also be worth noting that as the cyclist increases speed so does the the air resistance
