A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg, what is the momentum of the cyclist/bike?

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
